Washington Snow Removal clears snow and ice from gated communities in Pacific, which sits across the King County and Pierce County line. We are licensed, bonded and insured. Our yard is in Bothell, 60 minutes from Pacific.
Pacific averages 6.5 in of snow per season, so big storms are rare. When one hits, a gated community needs its entry, main loop and walkways open. Call 206-809-9669 to talk through your community's layout and how we would handle it.

Gated Community Snow Removal in Pacific, WA
A gated community has more to clear than a standard lot. The work usually centers on the entry gate and keypad lane, the main loop road, side streets, and sidewalks and mailbox areas. Each needs a different tool, so we match equipment to the space.
Pacific does not see snow often. It gets 2.1 days a year with 1 in or more, and 0.76 Winter Storm Warnings a year. But it has 28 freezing nights from October to April, so ice is a steady concern after melt and refreeze. Storms can also be large. A spotter near Sumner measured 30 in on Feb 18, 2018, and the biggest single day since 2005 was 9.2 in.
