- Soul
- Greeter
Soul was born in Riverside California and moved to Washington when he was 3 months old. This is when he also got his first job at a dealership greeting guests and getting spoiled with treats from everyone in the dealership throughout the day. He has a brother and sister from the same litter who were also flown up to Washington to live in loving homes in the area. When you arrive at the dealership you might find Soul sitting at a door but don't worry he will never run out it just means his Dad went out that door and he is waiting for his return.

A little about me outside of work. I am a mother to my 5 year old son Maddex. We enjoy being active like swimming, biking/dirt biking/ATV's and watching movies as a family. I am extremely close to my family and love being around them. Personally, I am getting in to hot yoga and learning how to cook healthy meals.

Hi I'm Christopher Thompson. I've been an employee for Harnish Auto Family since February 2020. My father worked for Harnish Lincoln Mercury and Subaru and I was the son of a salesmen, growing into dealership life. I've had the pleasure of being with the Harnish auto family since I was a kid, and the one thing I love most about this company is people come first.
I've worked in fine dining, I've been a mobile mechanic, done independent contracting, and used to have a computer building and repair business. I was an eagle scout, am an avid hiker, and Im a WSU alumni (Go Cougs!). In my freetime I'm playing with dog's, having brews with my friends and enjoying the beautiful PNW.
