Mills Electric Company has been a reputable electrical contractor in the Northwest since its founding in 1911 by Howard E. Mills. Originally focusing on commercial services and appliance repair, the company expanded under the leadership of Howard O. Mills Sr., venturing into industrial and marine sectors. Back in the 1940s, Mills Electric’s Marine Division provided services to both commercial and naval vessels in Bellingham Shipyards and contributed to the construction of vessels for Uniflite Boat Builders.
