Seattle
MSI Seattle is one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier stone and surface distributors. Absolute GM sources select natural stone, quartz, and porcelain collections from MSI’s Seattle showroom — bringing world-class materials to Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and the greater Eastside.
MSI supplies the slabs. Absolute GM fabricates and installs them. We are an independent local fabricator — not an MSI retail store. Every slab is cut, edged, and fitted in our own Kirkland facility using the STONEEX digital templating system.
By the Numbers
MSI Seattle — Quartz, Porcelain & Natural Stone
MSI Seattle is one of the largest surface material distributors in North America — supplying engineered quartz, porcelain slabs, marble, granite, quartzite, and tile from a single source.
Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Orange, California, MSI (M S International) distributes an enormous catalog of surface materials through regional showrooms including their Seattle location in SoDo. Their product range spans three main categories we source regularly: Q Premium Natural Quartz (engineered surfaces in 60+ styles), large-format porcelain slabs for countertops and cladding, and imported natural stone including marble, granite, and quartzite from quarries worldwide.
At Absolute GM we source from MSI because few suppliers match the breadth — a homeowner choosing between quartz and marble, or a designer comparing porcelain cladding with quartzite, can see and compare options from a single distributor. MSI’s Seattle warehouse also means faster slab availability and shorter lead times than many specialty importers.
MSI Seattle materials we source & fabricate
Quartz, porcelain, and natural stone — the MSI collections most frequently requested in our Kirkland showroom. Full details are in our product library →
MSI’s calacatta range is the deepest in its class — bold, expressive grey-and-gold veins across a bright white quartz base. The 126″ × 63″ slab format allows full waterfall islands without a seam.
Fine, distributed grey veining across a warm white base — more understated than calacatta, versatile across kitchen and bathroom.
Pure, consistent white with no visible veining. Favoured for minimalist and Scandinavian kitchens.
Light to mid-tone grey with subtle tonal movement. Popular in contemporary Seattle homes.
Ultra-thin, UV-stable porcelain slabs for countertops, cladding, and outdoor kitchens. Scratch-resistant, stain-proof, and frost-rated for Seattle weather.
Imported natural stone from quarries worldwide — each slab unique. Calacatta marble for luxury kitchens, granite for durability, quartzite for the best of both.
