Downsizing Your Seattle Home? Use Self-Storage To Store The Things You Don’t Want To Part With

One of the worst things about deciding to downsize your Seattle home is figuring out what to do with everything. You may have some valuable collections or heartwarming momentos that you absolutely want to hold onto. This is where self-storage comes in. It is the perfect solution for homeowners that want or need to downsize but can’t come to terms with downsizing their special possessions as well.

Is it affordable?

Yes. Self-storage in Seattle has become very popular these days as more and more people turn to condominium living. There simply isn’t enough room for storage in most condos so people are using these units as a solution. This, in turn, makes the market more competitive, which is better for you. You’ll also find that most places offer a yearly package that is much less than a month-by-month deal.

Is it easy to access?

Yes. You will be given a locked area where you can keep your items and the times when you can access the area. Some of these storage buildings are open 24 hours a day so that you can get your belongings at any time.

Switching things around

Some people put things in storage for a few months and then move them out and replace them with other things from the house. If you have special knickknacks, for example, you can store some for a month or two and then bring them back out and display them in your home or condo for a change. Self-storage units in Seattle give you the opportunity to switch things around.

Self-storage units are the answer for most people that need to downsize but aren’t yet ready to part with all of their valuables.

Adrian,

This is a great option, like you said, for those who aren't ready to part with their extra belongings.  My thoughts are that if they are in storage for a few months and you really aren't missing them, have a big yard sale and move on!

This is a very good idea and like David says when you haven't looked at it or thought about it for a few months maybe you don't really need it.
