West Coast Self-Storage: management and development of self-storage facilities on the West Coast

West Coast Self-Storage is a company dedicated to the management, acquisition, and development of self-storage properties. Founded in 2006 by four former Shurgard Self Storage executives, the company is headquartered in Everett, Washington. Its activity is focused exclusively on storage, with a network that, as of the material consulted, exceeds 160 managed and owned facilities across five states: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, and Idaho.

Facility network and distribution by state

The company details the composition of its network: 91 locations in Washington, 31 in Oregon, 33 in California, 4 in Nevada, and 4 in Idaho. Together, these facilities total approximately 88,845 units and more than 11.5 million square feet of rentable space. The company notes that it continues to expand its presence with new openings and indicates that availability and features vary by location.

Types of storage and services for individuals and businesses

West Coast Self-Storage's catalog covers various rental options. These include personal and commercial storage, household storage, pharmaceutical storage, vehicle storage, wine storage, boat storage, and RV storage. The company offers units in a wide range of sizes, from small spaces for a few boxes to large units capable of holding the entire contents of a home.

Depending on the location, facilities may include drive-up units for easy loading and unloading, heated units to protect against low temperatures, and climate-controlled units for items sensitive to heat or humidity. Certain locations also offer spaces for recreational vehicles, boats, and cars. Most locations sell moving boxes and packing supplies and provide dollies and handcarts for moving day.

Rental terms and security

Leases are month-to-month and flexible, with no long-term commitment required. The company highlights the maintenance and cleanliness of its spaces as part of its offering. In terms of security, most facilities feature 24-hour digital video surveillance, personalized PIN-code access, and cylinder or disc locks. At select locations, units equipped with the StorageDefender monitoring system, which the company calls "Smart Units," have been added.

Mobile app and online management

West Coast Self-Storage has a mobile app that allows users to open gates and doors, manage their account, and pay bills. The website facilitates no-obligation unit reservations and online rentals, so customers can sign up from home or on the go. The company notes that it is possible to change unit size at the facility itself if the chosen one is not suitable.

Corporate profile and industry associations

The company presents itself as a member of the Self Storage Association and the state storage associations of Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, and Idaho. Its team of managers does not work on commission, a trait the company links to pressure-free service. West Coast Self-Storage also posts job openings for various locations.
