Company History
Lakeside Industries' roots go back to 1952, when Rhoady Lee, Sr., and his son Rhoady Lee, Jr., purchased a sand and gravel and ready-mix concrete company on the east side of Lake Washington. Growth continued and by the end of 1971, Rhoady Lee, Jr., owned a ready-mix business, three asphalt paving companies and a dump trucking business. In 1972, these operations were combined to form Lakeside Industries.
In 1980, Larry Darnell became President. Under Larry's leadership, Lakeside experienced growth and expansion, making us the largest asphalt paving company in the Pacific Northwest.
Over the years, the Lee family upgraded and expanded many of our operations. Growth through development and acquisitions continues, with the company now being led by Tim Lee as Chief Executive Officer and Michael Lee as President.
Today, with ongoing family ownership, we are a third-generation family-owned company, a leader in safety and quality, and remain the most respected asphalt paving company in the Northwest.
