The house has a short driveway with a steep hill, limited parking on the shoulder, so if a lot of buyers show up at the same time, there may be a small wait. For buyers getting large pieces of furniture, especially those that need to be disassembled, please contact the Downsizing Doula at 360-403-5515 to arrange a different time, most likely Friday the 20th to pick up your pieces.
