The YWCA basement cleanout in downtown Seattle kept going — and so did our crew. By this point, we’d already pulled 8 to 10 full truckloads of junk out of the building, and there was still more to go. This was one of the biggest single-site projects we’ve taken on, and every day brought another round of hauling.
The Swimming Pool Problem
The basement swimming pool was the wildest part of this job. What used to be an indoor pool had been converted into a storage area years ago, with three levels of steel racks built right inside the pool basin. Those racks were loaded with furniture, old equipment, and random debris. All of it had to come out — racks included — before the renovation could move forward.
Working in Downtown Seattle
Every load followed the same route: pack items in the basement, ride the elevator up, cart through the lobby, and load into our trucks parked on 4th Ave. In a busy downtown building with residents coming and going, that takes coordination. Broken furniture, old cabinets, doors, appliances, cardboard, scrap metal — it all went through that same bottleneck, load after load.
Clearing the Way for Renovation
Every truckload that left the building brought the YWCA one step closer to their renovation. The remodeled space will serve the residents who depend on the building for safe, affordable housing — and clearing decades of accumulated junk was the first step in making that happen.

This project took real coordination — multiple days, multiple truckloads, and a crew that showed up every morning ready to work. If you missed the beginning of this story, check out Part 1 of the YWCA project.
