Steilacoom sits on the water west of Lakewood, the oldest incorporated town in Washington, and it wears that history out in the open. The streets above the Sound hold older homes looking across the water to the islands, the Anderson Island ferry dock anchors the waterfront, and the town stays small and settled in a way that keeps owners put for decades. Three generations of us have worked these bluff streets, so we read the grade and the narrow lanes before backing a truck in, and we know how the ferry schedule paces the waterfront.
A town this old fills its houses with history: a sideboard handed down two generations, a clock that came west with the family, glass-front cabinets, the records and photographs of people who never planned to leave. We pack the breakables slowly and box the keepsakes with care under $1M in cargo coverage, and everything that crosses the threshold gets wrapped against the marine damp that settles on the bluff much of the year. If a downsize or an estate sale runs in stages, the load waits in our climate-controlled storage. Cole’s people on our own trucks, one flat figure set before the first piece comes out the door.

We also time the day around the Anderson Island ferry, since the dock traffic can fill the waterfront lanes when a boat unloads. The crew sizes up the grade and the lane width first, then stages the truck where it sits safe rather than wedge a tight, wet street, and carries from there for one figure settled ahead of the date.
