Longview, Kelso, Rainier and Olympia

Longview, Kelso and Rainier are one run, not two states

Longview and Kelso are on the Washington bank of the Columbia, about fifty miles north of us on I‑5. Rainier is directly opposite on the Oregon side, joined to Longview by the Lewis and Clark Bridge. Geographically they face each other across the river, so we schedule them together rather than treating the state line as a service boundary.

Where the line does matter is the paperwork. A Rainier loss is an Oregon claim and a Longview loss is a Washington one, which can mean different carrier offices and different adjusters on two properties within sight of each other. Tell us your carrier early and it stops being a complication.

Olympia and the long run

Olympia is the furthest north we work, and we are straightforward about what that means: it is a planned run, not a call-out. A crew going that far goes for the day with a truck sized for the job, so we would rather hear from you early than be fitted in late.

Why distance suits contents work

Contents restoration is planned work by its nature. The loss has already happened, the building repair is measured in weeks, and what gets booked is a pack-out day followed by weeks of cleaning and storage. On a job shaped like that, the drive is a small part of the total.

The exception is a small single-room job a long way north. At that size you are better served by someone local, and we will say so rather than take it.

Everything comes back to Vancouver

There is no depot up there. Contents from an Olympia or a Longview job come to 11915 NE 56th Circle like everything else, get the same inventory and the same cleaning, and go back in with the same crew.
