Josh Underhill’s Family Furniture Going Out of Business After 80 Years

Josh Underhill's Family Furniture is going out of business after providing Lynnwood and surrounding communities with quality furniture for 80 years. The final liquidation sale opens to the public March 20.
The Underhill Family has partnered with leading furniture promotional specialists Planned Furniture Promotions (PFP) to guide their company through its final chapter.
“An 80-year family legacy is something truly special,” said Tom Liddell, senior vice president of PFP. “Few retailers can say they’ve served multiple generations the way the Underhill family has. Our team is dedicated to ensuring this final sale is conducted with professionalism and respect, honoring the trust they’ve built in the community.”
Josh Underhill’s Family Furniture traces its roots to 1946 when Frank Underhill began selling furniture in downtown Seattle. The original business, Underhill’s Unfinished Furniture, was eventually sold and cleared as part of redevelopment tied to the 1962 World’s Fair. Following this transition, leadership passed to Frank’s son, Tom Underhill, who restarted the business as Underhill’s Fine Wood Furniture and opened multiple locations across the Seattle area.
In 2009, Tom Underhill’s son Josh took over the family business and consolidated operations into a single location in Lynnwood. There, he expanded the store’s offerings to include full-home furnishings and renamed the store Josh Underhill’s Family Furniture. The company’s 80-year retail legacy will now come to a close due to changing economic conditions.
