Upcoming Auctions and Sales of Abandoned Storage in Seattle- Both piece by piece and whole vault auctions
Hansen Bros. Moving & Storage has operated warehouses in the Seattle area since 1890. Periodically, we conduct auctions of abandoned storage lots. We have two types of storage and consequently two types of storage auctions.
Our "permanent" storage, offered under our Hansen Bros. brand, is a full service option. Our professional movers pad-wrap and load the customer's belongings into large containers. We inventory the condition of each item. When this type of storage is abandoned, we auction each piece item by item unless it is part of a set.
We also offer a mini-storage alternative - PortaBox Storage. Under this option, we deliver a large vault to the customer's residence and they load the container. We do not know the contents of the vaults until the time of the auction when we cut the locks and open the doors so auction attendees can bid on the whole container.
