What 98409 housing means for your junk removal
About 57 percent of occupied homes in this ZIP are rented, and the housing stock leans older. That mix means many pickups come at move-out time, when a rental needs to be cleared before the next tenant arrives. The crew works around that timeline with same-day booking.
The ZIP holds about 12,136 housing units and about 27,298 residents. With about 3,823 people per square mile, driveways and curb space are often tight. The crew positions the truck close to the entry and carries items out, so you do not need to clear a path to the street.
About 49 percent of homes here are single-family detached, while 34 percent sit in buildings of five units or more. That split means some pickups start at a front door and others at an elevator or stairwell.
Pickups run all year here, so there is no season to wait for and no weather window to plan around.
