  • Please make a sink, hand soap, and paper towels available to your outside salesperson and moving crew for handwashing during their time within your home.

For more information, please call us at (206) 365-4454.

Two Types of Storage

Our “permanent” storage, offered under our Hansen Bros. brand, is a full service option. Our professional movers pad-wrap and load the customer’s belongings into large containers. We inventory the condition of each item. When this type of storage is abandoned, we auction each piece item by item unless it is part of a set.

We also offer a portable alternative to self-storage – PortaBox Storage. Under this option, we deliver a large vault to the customer’s residence and they load the container. We do not know the contents of the vaults until the time of the auction when we cut the locks and open the doors so auction attendees can bid on the whole container.
