About Coldstream

We’d like to thank all our clients and friends of the firm who attended our Holiday Party on December 5^th, between the music, food, drinks and great people attending, a good time was had by all.  We would particularly like to thank those Coldstream team members who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the event seamless for those who attended.

In the season for giving, Coldstream adopted two families through the auspices of Bellevue Lifespring for the holidays.  Through the generosity of our team members, we not only filled the families’ wish lists, but we were able to provide each family with a gift card for groceries and one for other necessities.  We are thankful for our own good fortune, and felt a lot of goodwill and joy when the gifts were taken to Lifespring.

In lieu of holiday gifts this year, Coldstream will contribute to three charities, as voted on by our clients.  The three recipients are:

• Eastside Baby Corner – Providing the basic necessities that every child needs.
• Pasado’s Safe Haven – Animal Protection Organization
• Fred Hutchinson – Leader in research to prevent, detect and treat cancer.

One of Coldstream’s Core Values is to have a Thirst for Learning.  Join us in congratulating our team members who have exemplified this Core Value:
