Expert Steel & Aluminum Fabrication Services
Since 1975, Rainier Welding has established itself as a trusted leader in steel and aluminum fabrication. Originally operating as Rainier Iron Works, we began by crafting fireplace inserts and stoves before expanding into steel structure fabrication in 1980. Over five decades, we have partnered with government entities like the University of Washington, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and municipalities across Washington State. Our AISC-certified team specializes in precision welding, value-added engineering, and large-scale material handling for marine, bridge, infrastructure, and commercial projects. With a 35,000-square-foot facility in Anacortes, Washington, and advanced equipment including 10 overhead cranes and Voortman V600 beam drill lines, we deliver on-time, high-tolerance fabrication for challenging environments.

Recognized with awards from the National Steel Bridge Alliance, we maintain a customer-first approach, prioritizing integrity, safety, and teamwork. Our veteran-owned status reflects our commitment to excellence and service, while certifications from AISC, AWS, and SBA SDVOSB underscore our industry leadership. We serve the Northwest market, understanding the demands of harsh weather conditions and tight delivery schedules, particularly in Alaska's marine sector. Our mission remains to build structures that enable communities and commerce to thrive through relentless dedication to quality and reliability.

Victor helped me with a tiny welding job for my towing setup, and was a huge help. Fast and friendly service and great quality at a reasonable price.

[Writing from my wife's account because I am a computer incompetent]: These guys are fantastic. I had a small but time-sensitive job. They took it at once, were friendly, did it same-day, and the work was well done. Price was more than reasonable, much less than I'd expected it would be. Would use them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend. Did not observe any of the problems the more-negative reviewers posted at this welding shop. Seemed professional, friendly, and safe. Seth Leopold

Poor service; they have Welders that arent so great and are very grumpy every single day as well as the supervisors. I suggest working somewhere else, Ive worked with bigger and safer companies. The workers drive forklifts like Daytonas and most workers arent careful because theyre hard headed. I understand getting the Job done is important but doing it correctly. There was another worker that was very late twice and still kept his job after Ive seen him almost crush himself with a couple of beams before; Very unsafe and unskilled workers! Their Value is worse above all...
