REDMOND, Ore. — Hayden Homes recently received two of the nation’s top honors for construction and mid-sized workplaces from Fortune magazine and the website Great Place To Work, according to an announcement from Hayden Homes.
In the October 2024 issue of Fortune, Hayden Homes is included as a top 10 finalist on the 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces in Construction List, as well as a top 100 finalist on the 2024 Fortune Best Medium Workplaces List, according to the announcement.
Earning a spot on these lists means that Hayden Homes is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
“We are so grateful to our team members who have truly embraced our Give As You Go philosophy,” Patti Murphy, vice president of employee experience at Hayden Homes, wrote in the announcement. “Together we are building a strong community where we all lead fulfilled lives. We celebrate and thank our team members for all they do — we share these incredible honors with them.”
Hayden Homes has built 12 neighborhoods in Moses Lake since 1994. The most recent is Polo Ridge, located on Paxson Drive in the north side of Moses Lake.
Both lists are highly competitive, according to the announcement. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, evaluates and certifies thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, based more than 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 8.2 million employees this year alone. Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for employees regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status or other demographic identifier.
“Some of the strongest work cultures we measure every year come from companies with relatively small headcounts,” Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work, wrote in the announcement. “Companies that make these highly competitive lists offer the care and support found at companies 10 times their size.”
Hayden Homes has received more than 25 top honors in the past five years for its leadership in employee experience and engagement, according to the announcement. The company is frequently rated as a top 10 Best Company to Work For by Oregon Business Magazine, Washington Business Magazine and Best Places to Work Idaho.

People with disabilities should take extra steps in case of fire
MOSES LAKE — Fire danger is always high at this time of year. For people with disabilities, that can be problematic. July 26 is National Disability Independence Day, recognizing the nearly one-third of Americans who live with a disability. Unfortunately, having a disability can make the danger that comes with a fire much greater, according to a statement from the Washington State Fire Marshal’s Office. Of the 72 fire deaths that occurred in Washington state last year, 11 were people with a disability. Physical disability was the second leading human factor contributing to fatalities in residential buildings between 2017 and 2019, a study by the U.S Fire Administration found, accounting for 30% of deaths.
Home inventory up, sales slow but still steady in the Basin
MOSES LAKE — There’s a lot of activity going on in the real estate compared to a year ago, according to data from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, which tracks real estate trends in 26 Washington counties. According to the NWMLS, Grant and Adams counties had higher increases in active listings and closed sales in June 2025 over June 2024 than the rest of the state. But the activity on the ground only partly bears that out, said Brian Gentry, principal managing broker for Re/Max in Othello. “Over last year, yes,” Gentry said. “Over three years ago, no. There’s a lot more inventory right now. Where we would typically on any given day see in Othello 11 or 12 things on the market, we’re in about the 35 range right now. Some of those are new construction, so they’re presales, but there’s a lot of people putting their homes on the market.”
Othello dentist delivers home-grown greatness
OTHELLO — It’s been said that some people are born to greatness, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them. And then there are those who do great things on a small scale. “For whatever reason, I always seem to gravitate into leadership,” said Dr. Chris Dorow, owner of Othello Dental Arts and president of the Washington State Dental Association. “When I graduated from dental school in 1995, I was the student body president for the dental school. I went immediately from there into volunteering for the Washington State Dental Association. My first committee was the Communications Committee, and then they moved me to Membership Services … I was there for 16 years, and I (was asked) to be on the board of directors an insane amount of times.”
