Julie Williams,
Operations Manager
After relocating from Bellingham to help her parents with the family business, Julie became involved in just about every aspect of running and growing Willapa Brewing Co. From overseeing daily operations and helping lead the team to handling marketing, maintaining the website, and bringing new ideas to life, Julie has become an important part of the business.
Through community outreach, hosting events, and building relationships throughout the area, she has helped grow the business into more than just a brewery and restaurant. She's also built a wonderful team of dedicated employees who share a passion for creating a welcoming place for the community.
Her passion for giving back led her to establish The Willapa Way, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for other local nonprofits and helping community members in need.
Julie believes in the power of community, connection, and lending a helping hand. Her goal is to keep finding ways to bring people together and make a positive difference in the place she now calls home.
