          Every business faces unique challenges
        
        
          during the start-up phase, but launching
        
        
          a new venture during a recession is a level
        
        
          of daring few would attempt. It was that
        
        
          kind of fearlessness and entrepreneurial
        
        
          spirit that marked the beginning of the
        
        
          Cascadia Windows success story.
