The Public Storage at 16311 Meridian Ave E Puyallup, WA 98375 opened with more than 1,200 storage spaces conveniently located near South Hill and the Sunrise Village shopping mall.

The self-storage units will serve locals in the growing suburb, which grew 10 percent between 2010 and 2016. Many new residents are moving out of Seattle for more affordable housing options in Puyallup.

Home and business construction is booming on and around Meridian Avenue E, but there were not a lot of self-storage options in town. So Public Storage jumped at the chance to bring the largest self-storage company to the bustling suburb to help new movers.

“We’re providing storage units to a community that is underserved,” said Bryan Miranda, Public Storage’s vice president of west coast development. “And we’re in the path of growth, so we’re expecting more homes and more tenants.”

Whether residents are relocating, renovating or just running out of room at home, they can expect new storage units in a range of sizes to fit their needs, from small to extra-large. And an energy-efficient, climate-control system to store their stuff conveniently between uses or drive-up units to make storing all the stuff they love a breeze.
