About Us
History of 1110 Marshall
Enumclaw Laundry
The building Headworks Brewery is housed in originally was home to Enumclaw laundry. The brick building was built in 1927, and today, the original bricks remain. Enumclaw laundry first opened in 1913. Shown here is the original building. The house in the background still stands today across the street.
Hops on the Plateau
During the 1880’s a settlement boom occurred on the Plateau due to railroad construction and the Pacific Northwest Hops Boom. Land was cleared for farming, and lumber mills sprang up. During this time the Plateau was wooded with winding smoke plumes dotting the horizon as brush was cleared. In 1885 Northern Pacific Railroad laid their main rail line through the Plateau on land donated by Frank and Mary Stevenson, who constructed a hotel and Mary’s father built a saloon.
Most of the hops industry was devastated in the 1890s due to a widespread aphid infestation. Few farmers continued to raise hops in the area and most switched to dairying, berry, vegetable crops.
Hops production required large hop kilns which typically had pyramidal roofs. Although hops were a primary economic engine on the Plateau at this time, no hop kilns remain today.
Our Story
We began this journey in 2014 with the dream to one day share our creations with you. In 2015 we acquired the old Enumclaw Laundromat at 1110 Marshall Ave. We wanted to help restore an iconic building and create a space for our friends and community to gather and share great stories, great times, and great beer.
While our building had amazing potential, it was in need of renovations. We set to work rehabilitating the space while taking great care to preserve the existing brick and timber. Inside, we strove to create a welcoming space by installing new floors, bathrooms, bar tops, lighting, and tables.
While we made progress on our space, we perfected our craft recipes. While we can’t reveal our secrets, we can revel in our handcrafted, small batch beers. We can’t wait to share them with you.
