Maple Valley/Hobart
Down a quiet gravel driveway, past a grape arbor and Lucky the dog,
sits the shop where Rosemary and Larry Brester make some of the
world’s finest machined parts. From airplanes to medical devices to the
space station, they’ve been helping build the future for 40-plus years.

titanium, aircraft aluminum
and copper, as well as non-

the rural King County home of
Rosemary and Larry Brester.
