Gordon Thomas Honeywell is proud of our continued partnership with Sheridan Elementary this year! GTH employees volunteered in the first-grade classrooms during the 2023 – 2024 school year. GTH volunteers offered classroom help and a listening ear for students to share or join a classroom activity. We also hosted a holiday book drive! Each student in the first-grade classrooms received a book to kick off their summer break, and the firm also donated over $1,000 to purchase books to replenish the school’s free library.
Ms. Bullinger, one of the first-grade teachers, responded: “Amazing! Thank you so much for all of your help! The kids loved having you guys come to the classroom. Have a wonderful summer!” Kecia Keller, Sheridan’s principal, also thanked GTH: “This is AMAZING! Thank you so much!
Looking forward to another year of partnership!”

Model Homeless Village Approved
GTH is proud to represent the Tacoma Rescue Mission in acquiring land and permitting the Pierce County Village project. The Pierce County Village will be a 280-unit village to serve the County’s chronically homeless population, providing dignified housing, wrap-around services and a sense of community. As noted by Tacoma Rescue Mission Executive Director Duke Paulson, the village would serve vulnerable people who have few if any sustainable, long-term options. The project was recently approved by the County’s Hearing Examiner, following a lengthy and contentious process. GTH is proud to be a part of this important community effort. https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/article289005474.html

Congratulations Katie Chan
At GTH, we strive to get our new attorneys into court – not just as observers but as active participants. Today, one of our newest associates, Katie Chan, argued in the Washington Court of Appeals Div. II. Katie came to GTH in the fall of 2023 from clerking at the Court of Appeals for the prior two years. It was a homecoming for her and she did a remarkable job. She made all of us at GTH proud. (Note: this picture was taken before, not during, the oral argument.)
GTH Partners with Sheridan Elementary
We at Gordon Thomas Honeywell are proud to begin another year of supporting and mentoring the students at Sheridan Elementary School on the Eastside of Tacoma. Seven years ago, GTH “adopted” a first-grade class, and we gave each student a book to take home during winter break. We continued the tradition with these students every year through the 5th grade. This year, we adopted a new first-grade class, and we cannot wait to watch these kids grow and matriculate.
