Their bodies were found on Thursday evening by their daughter who stopped in for a visit.
When she got there it looked as though there'd been a break-in so she called police.
Officers who attended found the bodies elsewhere on the property, the Seattle Times reported.
The pair own and operated of E2W Brewing, a "nanobrewery" based on their Olalla property in Washington.

Sheriff’s Lt. Ken Dickinson said on Saturday that detectives are hunting Rose who is believed to have stolen a vehicle - which has since been located - to flee the area.
The manner in which the victims were killed is being withheld from the public until an arrest is made and the suspect has been interviewed.
One news release said the slain couple died from "homicidal violence".
It is thought Rose is hiding in the Pierce County or Tacoma area - but officers are advising caution to anyone who may cross his path as he's considered armed and dangerous.

The brewery's Facebook page says the Schulz brewery's Strawberry Ale won first place in a vote by beer drinkers from the Gig Harbor Beer Festival in May.
