Roy Handicap Parking Clearing
We clear accessible parking stalls and their access aisles fully so they stay usable for Western Washington visitors all winter.
Handicap parking spaces and their access aisles need to be clear and safe to walk on, not just plowed. Washington Snow Removal clears accessible stalls, striped aisles, curb ramps and the route to the entrance at properties in Roy, Pierce County.
Roy averages 6.2 inches of snow per season and sees 1 in or more on about 1.8 days a year. Snow is rare, but ice is not. The area logs 42 freezing nights from October to April. We are licensed, bonded and insured. Call 206-809-9669.

Handicap Parking Clearing in Roy: What the Work Involves
Accessible parking is small, so it is easy to bury under a plow pile. We keep the work careful and specific to those spaces. Roy has 1 mapped surface parking lot inside city limits, so most jobs are a single lot with a few stalls to keep open.
- Clear each accessible stall and the striped access aisle next to it
- Open curb ramps and the path to the building entrance
- Hand shovel where a plow blade cannot reach
- Spread ice melt or salt on the cleared surface
- Place plowed snow away from stalls and ramps
Local weather shapes the plan. Roy gets 0.57 Winter Storm Warnings a year, and 11 winter storm and heavy snow reports have been logged since 2005. Recent events include an Ice Storm on Dec 23, 2022, Winter Weather on Nov 22, 2010, and Heavy Snow on Dec 21, 2008. With 42 freezing nights and about 3.45 light-snow days a year that need deicing, a thin glaze often matters more than depth.
