We are dedicated to helping our customers achieve their financial goals.

Our Firm

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, we have the advantage of understanding the dynamic business environment of the Pacific Northwest as well as the new technologies that affect our region. At Martin Nelson & Company, our knowledge and expertise will provide you with the best possible service.

History

After working for over 20 years at a large New York brokerage house, Martin Nelson Sr. decided that he could do a better job for his clients by starting a Northwest based investment firm. In May, 1954, he and Mel Scoville started Nelson, Scoville & Co in downtown Seattle. A year later, Martin Nelson bought out Scoville to form Martin Nelson & Co., Inc. (MNCO). As an independent regional broker/dealer, MNCO has been serving local municipalities, businesses and investors with the highest degree of professional and personal service.

In 1970, Martin Nelson Jr. joined the firm; he took over as president in 1982. Under his guidance and after almost 50 years in downtown Seattle, MNCO purchased a building in the South Lake Union area and moved the firm to its current location of 1500 Westlake Ave N in 2002.

Since the formation of the company in 1954, there has been a steady growth in the stock market. Our clients' wealth and financial rewards, for the most part, have come from buying carefully researched investments and exercising the patience necessary for those ideas to develop. We will continue to work hard for our clients.

Location

Martin Nelson & Company's Seattle headquarters is located in a newly rennovated space in the iconic Marina Mart Building situated in the bustling and developing community of South Lake Union. Our street side is at 1500 Westlake Avenue North and our water side directly abuts the shores of Lake Union. From our top floor, we appreciate sweeping views of downtown, Space Needle and local boating and seaplane activities.

We are accessed easily from Aurora/Hwy 99 Dexter exit or from the I-5 Mercer exit. You may choose the more scenic route from downtown's Westlake Center via the South Lake Union Trolley to MOHAI (Museum of History and Industry), then a 5 minute walk along the lake.
