Unlike national chains that treat you like a number, PortaBox is deeply familiar with Seattle’s neighborhoods. We know Magnolia’s curves, hills, and narrow driveways—and we deliver with care.

Our team handles deliveries to all parts of the area: Magnolia Village, near Discovery Park, by Fishermen’s Terminal, or tucked into Interbay. We also work around building regulations, HOAs, and access restrictions so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

So why do Magnolia residents choose PortaBox over national storage companies?

How Magnolia storage in Seattle​ works—step by step

Getting started with PortaBox is fast and frustration-free. No complex forms, no last-minute changes, no nonsense. Here’s the process:

  • Contact us and request your free estimate
  • Schedule delivery of your container(s) and packing materials
  • Pack at your own pace—no rush, no late fees
  • We pick up and move it to our secure facility
  • You request redelivery or access whenever you need

No matter if you need one box or several, for a month or a year, the process stays the same: simple, smart, and fully under your control. Forget complicated—this is how storage should be.

PortaBox vs traditional storage: The comparison that matters

Still considering a self-storage unit? It helps to look at the day-to-day experience and what you’re really signing up for. PortaBox was built to remove the friction points that traditional storage often creates—and the difference is immediate.

With PortaBox, the storage comes to you. There’s no need to rent a truck or spend your weekend shuttling boxes across the city. You pack once, right at your home or business, and we handle the pickup and transport. Your container is stored in a climate-regulated, secure facility with flexible access whenever you need it. If something changes, our Seattle-based team is just a quick call away.

On the other hand, traditional storage often means multiple trips, renting a vehicle, and loading and unloading twice. You’re responsible for navigating traffic, managing access hours, and often paying extra for security locks, transport costs, hidden storage fees, and even basic climate control. Customization is limited, and personal service is rarely part of the equation.

If your time, energy, and peace of mind are worth protecting, the choice is simple. PortaBox gives you control, while traditional storage adds layers of stress. When convenience, security, and control matter, PortaBox is the clear winner. Don’t store the old way. Store the smart way!

What if I don’t have a lock?

Will you load &/or unload my box for me?

Yes, PortaBox has a business relationship with local moving companies that can provide the labor to load or unload your container(s).  We suggest that you have the container(s) delivered the day before you have the movers come out to do the work for you.  Contact the closest office to set up the labor.

Do I need to be present for delivery?

We prefer that the account holder is present at the time of delivery to sign the paperwork and direct the driver where to place the containers.  If you absolutely cannot be there we can make arrangements to get the paperwork signed prior to delivery and have you make a diagram where to place the containers.

What do I need to do to have my container re-delivered to my home? (or other location)

Tell us the delivery ZIP code, the date you’d like to schedule re-delivery. There will be a charge for your re-delivery at the then prevailing rates to the normal local delivery area.

Can you move my box to another state or overseas?

May I have my container(s) moved to a warehouse closer to my home?

Yes, there is a relocation fee for moving containers from one warehouse to another.

Can I put the container in the garage or carport?
