     This Amendment No. 6 supplements and amends Amendment No. 5 on Schedule 13D
dated August 9, 2000 ("Amendment No. 5") filed by the reporting person, Steven
A. Rothstein ("Rothstein"). Amendment No. 5 was mistakenly filed via Edgar under
National Securities Corporation, the Issuer's (as defined below) wholly-owned
subsidiary. This Amendment No. 6 is being filed to report that the number of
shares of Common Stock which Rothstein may be deemed to own has increased due to
a August 28, 2000 grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock of
Olympic Cascade Financial Corporation ("Olympic" or the "Issuer") that was made
in accordance with the Issuer's Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). Additionally,
beginning on August 18, 2000 and ending on November 8, 2000, Rothstein directly
and indirectly made twelve open market purchases of Olympic Common Stock
resulting in the aggregate purchase of 21,500 shares and on November 10, 2000
Rothstein exercised a stock option for 10,000 shares. This Amendment No. 6 also
reflects a 6,500 share decrease in the beneficial ownership of Rothstein
determined in August 2000 to have stemmed from an accounting error. This
Amendment No. 6 supplements and amends Amendment No. 5 only with respect to
Items 3 and 5 as set forth below. All other items are unchanged from Amendment
No. 5. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in Amendment No. 5.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     Item 3 of Amendment No. 5 is supplemented and amended by inserting the
following paragraph at the end thereof:

Pursuant to the Plan, on August 28, 2000, the Issuer granted stock options to
Rothstein to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$6.125. Said options were immediately exercisable on the date of the grant and
expire on August 28, 2005. Additionally, beginning on August 18, 2000 and ending
on November 8, 2000, Rothstein directly and indirectly made twelve open market
purchases of Olympic Common Stock resulting in the aggregate purchase of 21,500
shares. Of the 21,500 shares purchased, 17,100 shares were purchased for
Rothstein's individual retirement account and the remainder of the shares were
purchased for the accounts of two of his three children. The total consideration
for said open market purchases equaled $113,545.00 (excluding trading costs) and
the consideration came from Rothstein's and his children's unencumbered personal
funds.

Item 5. Interest in the Securities of the Issuer.

     Subparagraph (a)-(b) of Item 5 of Amendment No. 6 is hereby supplemented
and amended to read in its entirety as follows:

          As of the date hereof, Rothstein has acquired beneficial ownership of
     819,034 shares of Common Stock (Rothstein's beneficial ownership now totals
     33.27% of the total number of common shares outstanding). Rothstein has the
     sole power to vote and direct the vote and the sole power to dispose and
     direct the disposition of 362,783 of such shares. Of the 819,034 shares of
     Common Stock that Rothstein has beneficial ownership of, 356,001 are shares
     of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of his stock options. Such
     options are exercisable in the following manner: (i) 83,807 shares at an
     exercise price of $3.73 per shares; (ii) 70,000 shares at an exercise price
     of $3.39 per share; (iii) 57,881 shares at an exercise price of $7.12 per
     share; (iv) 27,563 shares at an exercise price of $5.44 per share; (v)
     36,750 shares at an exercise price of $5.36 per share; (vi) 30,000 shares
     at an exercise price of $4.00 per share; (vii) 10,000 shares (2,500 of
     which are vested and another 2,500 of which will be vested within six
     months) at an exercise price of $4.6875 per share; (viii) 25,000 shares at
     an exercise price of $7.50 per share; and (ix) 15,000 shares at an exercise
     price of $6.125 per share . Until Rothstein exercises his options, he does
     not possess the sole power to vote or to direct the vote, the shared power
     to vote or to direct the vote, the sole power to dispose or to direct the
     disposition, or the shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of
     the underlying shares represented by the options. Of the 100,250 shares of
     Common Stock that Rothstein shares voting and dispositive power, 6,703 of
     such shares are owned by his spouse's individual retirement account, 29,213
     of such shares are owned by his daughter Caroline, 46,367 of such shares
     are owned by his son Joshua, and 17,967 of such shares are owned by his
     daughter Natalie. Rothstein's spouse and children live with him at the
     address stated in Item 2. The above stated percentage ownership calculation
     takes into account a 6,500 share decrease in the beneficial ownership of
     Rothstein determined in August 2000 to have stemmed from an accounting
     error, assumes 2,096,113 shares of Olympic are issued and outstanding (as

     assumes exercise of Rothstein's options which are currently exercisable or
     exercisable within six months of the date hereof (351,001) and includes
     shares owned by Rothstein, his spouse and children. See Item 2 for
     information on Control Persons.
