When You Need Storage Units in Olympia or Lacey
Customers across the South Sound use Allwest storage for many reasons:
Short-Term Storage Between Moves
When your move-out and move-in dates don't align, Allwest stores your belongings between origin and destination. Common scenarios:
-
Home sales closing before your new home is ready
-
Long-distance moves where origin and destination dates don't match
-
Waiting for new construction or renovation completion
-
International transitions and corporate relocations
Military Deployment & PCS Storage
Active duty service members at Joint Base Lewis-McChord trust Allwest with their household goods during deployments and PCS moves. Our DoD-approved facility meets federal standards for military storage.
Storage Units for Home Renovation
Major renovations are easier — and safer for your belongings — when furniture is moved offsite. Our storage service includes pickup, secure storage during your renovation, and delivery back when complete.
Downsizing & Estate Transitions
When you're downsizing but not ready to make permanent decisions, storage units give you time. Sentimental items and pieces you may want later can be safely stored.
Senior Transition Storage
Seniors moving to retirement communities or assisted living often need temporary storage for furniture while families make decisions. Allwest's senior moving team coordinates storage with the broader move transition. Learn more about our senior moving services.
Long-Term Storage for Life Transitions
Some customers need storage for months or years — during work relocations, real estate transitions, family situations, or life events. Allwest accommodates long-term storage with the same security and care as short-term.
Storage Pricing in Olympia, Lacey & Tacoma
Storage pricing depends on several factors:
-
Volume of items being stored — Measured by cubic feet and weight
-
Duration of storage — Short-term vs. long-term arrangements
-
Services included — Pickup, delivery, packing, and inventory services can be bundled
-
Access frequency — Most customers don't need regular access; if you do, that affects pricing
-
Climate control needs — All Allwest storage is climate-controlled (no surcharge)
Allwest provides transparent, detailed written estimates. There's no minimum storage period — pay only for the time you need.
Allwest Storage vs. Traditional Storage Units
When you search for storage units near me, results typically include self-storage facilities like Public Storage, Extra Space, or U-Haul. Here's how Allwest is different:
Feature | Allwest Storage | Typical Self-Storage Unit |
|---|---|---|
Climate control | Always included | Premium add-on only |
Pickup & delivery | Movers handle everything | You do all the work |
Security level | DoD-approved facility | Varies widely |
Inventory tracking | Documented per item | None — you track your own |
Pest protection | Active protocols | Limited or none |
Insurance options | Valuation coverage available | Limited tenant insurance |
Storage containers | Sealed wooden vaults | Open unit, exposed |
Truck rental needed | No | Usually yes |
Stairs | We handle it | You do it |
Self-storage units work for frequent-access situations. Allwest works better for storing your household between moves, during renovations, or during life transitions — where professional handling matters more than daily access.

Common Storage Questions
How much do storage units cost in Olympia, WA?
Storage pricing depends on volume, duration, and services bundled. Most household storage customers fall in the $75-$300 per month range. Allwest provides free consultations with transparent written estimates so you know exactly what to expect — no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Do you offer short-term storage near me in Olympia?
Yes. Allwest provides short-term storage to customers across Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and the South Sound region. There's no minimum storage period — store your belongings for as few days or as many years as you need.
Are your storage units climate-controlled?
Yes. All Allwest storage is climate-controlled — included with every storage agreement, not an add-on. Your wood furniture, electronics, photographs, leather goods, and sensitive items are protected from temperature and humidity extremes that damage traditional self-storage contents.
What makes Allwest different from a self-storage facility?
Traditional self-storage gives you an empty unit you fill yourself, with limited climate control and security. Allwest is a full-service storage solution — we pick up your belongings, store them in sealed wooden vaults inside our DoD-approved facility, track inventory, and deliver them back when you're ready. No truck rental, no heavy lifting, and significantly more protection.

Allwest provides storage in transit through our Wheaton World Wide Moving partnership. If your move-out and move-in dates don't align, your belongings are stored at our Lacey facility for as long as needed before continuing to your destination. Learn more about our long-distance moving services.
