Bigger isn’t always better
better is better
A lot has changed since we first opened up in 1946. We no longer sell tires or TVs for that matter, and appliances have changed a lot. But one thing that hasn't changed is our commitment to helping you make your house a home. We understand the value of a place to rest your head, gather, and live life. And we know that when your house truly feels like your home, life is just better. From selection to service and delivery to install, we are here to take care of you no matter what your appliance or mattress needs are.
Delivery
Anyone can sell you an appliance or mattress, but we are here to take care of you throughout the whole process. Our delivery team is equipped to deliver your purchase quickly and safely to your home. Man products can be installed right then and there and we will even take away your old appliance or mattress. From A to B and back again, we've got you covered.
SERVICE
From time to time even the best appliances need repair. Our expert service techs go through extensive training and keep up to date with all manufacturer standards. When your appliances need repair, you need it fast and that is our commitment to you. Fast, Safe, and efficient services mean you don't have to worry about when your appliance will be back up and running.
Selection
With our commitment to creating the best experience possible, we work hard to have the best selection of appliances in each of our stores and keep them in stock. From a wide range of ding and dent models to the exclusive top of the line brands like Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Thermador we carry it all.
Installation
When you have spent so much time working to find the perfect appliance you shouldn't have to also figure out how to install it. With our expertly trained install crews, we will make sure your appliances are installed the right way the first time. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
Our Story
1946
In 1941 the Kredit DeWaard store opened in Lynden, WA selling everything from automobile tires to some of the first major home appliances introduced to Whatcom County.
1946
In 1946, Kredit retired and Rube Bode joined his brother-in-law, Jake DeWaard, to form DeWaard & Bode. Over the years, the company focus shifted to solely selling and servicing major appliances quickly becoming the leading retailer in the area and coining the name "The Appliance Giants".
2002
Under new ownership, DeWaard & Bode continued expanding into a larger warehouse facility on Hannegan Road in Bellingham. This facility contains our service & parts departments and is complete with an appliance outlet center where you'll find great deals on ding & dent appliances!
2010
As operations continued to grow, DeWaard & Bode launched their flagship Bellingham Showroom, becoming the largest appliance & mattress showroom in Whatcom county. Featuring an incredible showcase of the industry's latest & greatest products.
2016
With a growing demand in Skagit & Island counties, a new showroom & outlet center was launched in Burlington to better serve this region as the premier appliance & mattress retailer North of Seattle.
2019
We may have grown through the years, but we are still locally and family-owned and operate on the same values that DeWaard & Bode's founders stood by, honesty, integrity, and a commitment to serving our community. We continue to grow our team and serve the communities where we live and work!
