History
From the fledgling telephone provider for Eatonville, Washington in 1910 to premier provider of voice, Internet and cable television services for homes and businesses across the South Sound, Rainier Connect has come far over the last 100 years. Step back in time and imagine you are Pete Christensen (who won the company in a friendly game of Pinochle as the story goes) in 1910. I'm sure he didn't think then, that winning a hand of cards would lead to a number of very exciting and prosperous things for a small telephone company. By 1954 Arne Haynes (Pete's grandson) was running the company which employed six people and served 300 customers. Over the next 56 years, Rainier Connect, one of Washington's first telephone companies would convert to dial tone, embrace digital switching and eventually offer future technologies such as high-speed internet, cable television and serve a customer base of over 15,000 by 2010. All the while remaining a family owned and operated company.
