Whether it’s that nostalgic VHS collection you can’t let go of or those extra tables you rarely need, nearly all of us have our “stuff”.

“People like their stuff—they don’t want to get rid of it,” said Sky Carver, owner of Hoyt Street Storage.

I recently met with Carver to tour his Downtown Everett storage facility. Carver, who lives in Anchorage Alaska but sees Everett as an up and coming city, bought the building that houses the storage facility at 2808 Hoyt Avenue earlier this year.

Only about half of the 28 storage units are being used, so Carver is keeping his prices low to try and attract more customers. He stated his prices are 30% lower than local competitors.

They have a number of units in varying sizes available. An 8x10 will run you $115/month. Located at 2808 Hoyt Avenue (just one block South of the Everett Public Library), the location is about as convenient as far as Downtown Everett goes.

Along with being heated, the storage units are also secure.

Each customer gets their own code to enter the building anytime between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. The manager does periodic walkthroughs, and the building also has motion sensors and cameras that keep records of everyone who comes in and out.

“We even provide toilets!” Carver said with a smile, pointing toward the bathroom. Jokes aside—a bathroom can be a lifesaver on those long moving days.

I asked Carver if there was anything else he’d like our readers to know. “Personal service. We like to know our people directly. Give us a call!”
