May 27th, 2025

Summer is right around the corner, making it the perfect time to simplify your space—and your plans. Whether you're planning summer road trips, clearing out the garage for backyard BBQs, or finally tackling that home project you swore you'd finish last year, having a flexible storage solution can make all the difference!

At Express Storage, we believe that self-storage isn’t just about stashing stuff. It’s about creating space for what really matters. Here are some storage tips for the upcoming summer season!

Store Your Winter Gear, Find Your Tent

From skis and snowboards to bulky coats and boots, winter gear takes up prime real estate. Pack it up and store it away—so you can reach the things you actually need this season, like camping supplies, beach chairs, or your favorite cornhole set.

Prep for Adventure—Without the Clutter

Got paddleboards, bikes, or kayaks taking up garage space? Use a nearby storage unit as your personal adventure hub. With our secure, easy-access locations across Washington, you can grab your gear on the way to the lake—no digging through your garage required.

Clean House, Clear Mind

Late spring is peak cleaning season. Whether you're downsizing, decluttering, or just reclaiming your living room from the chaos of everyday life, a storage unit helps you keep the things you love without living in a sea of boxes. (And yes—those heirloom books and vintage vinyl are safe in our climate-controlled units.)

Hosting a Summer Event? Store the Extras

Planning a family reunion, backyard wedding, or graduation bash? Temporary storage can hold extra tables, chairs, decorations, and even catering equipment. It keeps your home event-ready and your mind stress-free.

Pro Tip: Label Like a Pro

Before storing seasonal gear or sentimental items, label your boxes by category and room. Create an inventory list so you can find what you need fast—especially if you’re planning to rotate items every season.
