Shipping containers for sale in SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

If it’s on private property and short-term, you likely don’t need one. However, placing containers on public land or long-term installations in Seattle may require a Street Use Permit through SDOT.

Yes — we’ve delivered to hilly, dense areas throughout Seattle. Just let us know in advance about street width or driveway grade so we can prepare properly.

 Delivery of a 20ft shipping container will require a minimum of 60ft straight line clearance, while a 40ft container will require a minimum of 125ft straight line clearance to perform a safe and effective turn. We’ll review your setup with you before delivery. You can also read more on our delivery guidelines here.

All of our containers are wind and watertight, meaning your goods stay dry even in heavy Pacific Northwest rain. For especially wet ground, we recommend placing the unit on wood blocks or gravel.

Most customers want to choose their container color, and sometimes this is possible, but not always. You get the first container off of the stack at the intermodal depot. If you order multiple containers, it is often possible to get the color of your choice. Also, one trip containers are generally tan or beige.

Unfortunately, customers don’t have access to the depots for liability reasons. All the containers are inspected before delivery, and we always recommend our customers to check the container at delivery. If you want to pick up your container, you will be given a release number and the depot information.

Containers come from different parts of the world, carrying items such as food, clothes, etc. Most containers coming into the United States are shipped from China, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany and the UK.
