Our Story
One Truck. One Dream. A Different Vision.
Every business has a beginning. Ours started in 2019 with one truck, a handful of customers, a small garage, and a dream of building something better.
Before founding Central Washington Pool & Spa, business partners Josh Figueroa and Anton Yates spent half a decade working together in the pool and spa industry. During that time, they developed a deep understanding of the trade and recognized an opportunity within an industry that was often fragmented and underserved.
They envisioned a company that could bring together technical expertise, professionalism, dependable service, and a customer-first approach under one roof. A company that wouldn't simply meet industry standards, but continuously work to raise them.
In 2019, they made the decision to turn that vision into reality.
Leaving behind the security of their previous employment, Josh and Anton committed themselves entirely to building Central Washington Pool & Spa from the ground up.
There were no investors, no business loans, no large facilities, and no established fleet of vehicles. Just two determined entrepreneurs, one service truck, a small garage, and an unwavering belief in what their company could become. Built entirely from the ground up through hard work, personal sacrifice, and more than a little blood, sweat, and tears, Central Washington Pool & Spa was a dream brought to life through determination rather than outside financial backing.
What followed was years of dedication, long days, calculated risks, and a commitment to reinvesting in the business. Customer by customer, employee by employee, and truck by truck, their vision began taking shape.
Today, Central Washington Pool & Spa has grown from its humble beginnings into an established, locally owned company serving homeowners and businesses throughout Central Washington and surrounding communities.
Our headquarters in Yakima serves as the heart of our operations and home to our Caldera Spas showroom, where customers can discover premium hot tubs featuring innovative FreshWater® Salt Systems, designed to deliver an exceptional hot tub experience with simpler water care, lasting comfort, and everyday relaxation.
As our company has evolved, so has our vision.
Through the addition of Pool & Spa Modern Renovations and Alpine Pool & Spa, we've developed a family of businesses dedicated to providing specialized solutions across nearly every aspect of the pool and spa industry. From routine maintenance and technical repairs to custom pool construction, extensive renovations, and automatic pool cover systems, our goal is to provide customers with the expertise and resources they need, all within a trusted network of locally owned businesses.
Despite how much we've grown, we've never forgotten where we started.
We believe in treating people fairly, standing behind our work, investing in our team, and constantly challenging ourselves to improve. These principles helped build our company in 2019, and they continue to guide us today.
We're incredibly proud of the team we've assembled, the relationships we've built, and the trust our customers have placed in us over the years.
What began with one truck, a small garage, and a dream has grown into something far greater than we ever imagined. And in many ways, we're only getting started.

Ellen K. “I want to recognize the excellent service provided by Central WA Pool and Spa. Josh and his staff , including the friendly crew who service my pool, who are exceptionally polite and patient. They are professional and go the extra mile completing the job. They closed my pool last fall , repaired the pump and installed a new cover. This summer they opened the pool and are now doing the “Splash and Dash” service twice a month. I know I am in good hands with them.”
