Parking, stairs, and weather in the 98031 ZIP
The 98031 ZIP packs about 40,898 residents into roughly 7.7 square miles, a density of about 5,289 people per square mile. Tight streets and shared driveways mean the crew often works from the curb rather than a wide driveway.
They are used to carrying items down stairs and through narrow paths to reach the truck.
About 21 percent of homes here sit in buildings of five units or more, so many pickups start at an elevator or a stairwell. With about 45 inches of rain a year across roughly 97 days of measurable precipitation, the crew works in wet conditions.
They protect floors and walls whether the path is through a lobby or a muddy yard.
Winter here reorders the queue rather than emptying it. Rain does not stop pickups, but it may mean more indoor cleanouts as people tackle garages and basements. The crew arrives in branded uniforms and is fully insured for every job.
