Wow, PortaBox saved the day. We were in the middle of the holidays and expecting house guests when my husband received a shipment of samples from his company that literally filled our extra bedroom. (Don’t ask about the garage.) So we jumped online and ordered your box to clean out the room until the holidays were over. Next we’re going to clean out the garage.

Our daughter the “packrat” just left for college and we’re turning her room into an office. But, we can’t part with her furniture and collection of girl stuff. PortaBoxes annual program was very affordable so we decided to save it for her until she starts her own family. A little sappy, but what can I say! They’re only young once.
Take advantage of the proximity to downtown
While West Seattle is a separate neighborhood from downtown, it is still relatively close and easily accessible via bridges and public transportation. This makes it a convenient laid-back place to live for people who work or play in downtown Seattle.
