Family History

Whitfield’s Licensing has a rich history spanning over 100 years, deeply rooted in the Monroe community. The business was founded by Lawrence Whitfield, who moved to Washington at the age of thirteen. Lawrence’s entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish successful real estate and insurance businesses, which served the growing community of Monroe and beyond.

Lawrence’s son, Larry Whitfield, continued the family legacy, often found in the Whitfield Licensing office until the age of 92. Currently, Chuck Whitfield and his wife Nancy run the business, maintaining the family’s commitment to their neighbors and sound business practices.

The Whitfield family has always been dedicated to building relationships and doing the right thing, no matter the circumstances. This ethos has defined their business and will continue to do so in the future.

Lawrence’s early years were spent in the logging industry, a dangerous and demanding field. He worked various jobs, including as a “whistle punk” and a high rigger, before transitioning to real estate and insurance.

In addition to his business ventures, Lawrence was an avid outdoorsman and hunter. One of his prized possessions, a taxidermized moose named Pete, has been a beloved fixture in the Whitfield Licensing office for over 70 years.
