    Do any experienced truckers know of a place I can park my rig for about a month in the Seattle Tacoma area? I don’t mind paying but it has to be a safe place. Thanks in advance.

    Swift has a terminal nearby in Sumner. See if they will rent you a space.

    (I'm kind of half serious and half joking, but it is worth a shot as it is a secure location.)

    Truck only or trailer too? RV storage will likely be your best and most secure choice. Next would be reaching out to companies that have terminals there or maybe dealerships. Most of the pay to park lots that I’ve driven by I dang sure wouldn’t want to leave my truck at one for a weekend much less a month.

    There is a truck stop in Sumner that charges.
    $10 for every 12 hours, and that would add up very quickly.

    And you’d come back to a destroyed hood and no wheels or tires. Lol

    Too true.

    That place is not secure.
    The coffee and bathrooms leave a lot to be desired as well.

    But then, we are talking about the Seattle area, right?
    They LOVE trucks to deliver their goods, but HATE us to park within 100 miles.
     
    BillStep, Lepton1 and Long FLD Thank this.

    You’re pretty much screwed for parking there. Someone mentioned using a secure storage facility. I would second that idea.

    There are tons of them in the area. Many locals store their RV’s and boats, for the winter.

    If you need additional space for a trailer. This might be an issue.

    Marine storage as well. They may have some open space that they’ll rent out. Look for one who offers storage for larger boats. 35-40+ foot long

    Hasn't been a decent place to park since the Flying J closed.
