Mill Creek Self Storage at 17811 Bothell Everett Hwy

Under no circumstances would I move anything in here. It was a bait and switch. Our rent doubled as soon as we got moved in due to what they called market rates. Your rent can change at any time if you are month to month. They have attrocious late fees during what most places would consider a grace period. Youll be locked out of your belongings if you are late at all. These guys are shady and prey upon people who dont read the fine print. Run, dont walk away. Update: The owner is a corporation based in Utah. You can only call the store directly. I confirmed the web rate you sign up with is not the long term rate. It is an undisclosed temporary and the rate will change after you move in. DO NOT get played into signing up online it is deliberately baiting you to sign up for a false rate. There is a grayed out lined out monthly rate next to the web rate online. The grayed out rate is the least you'll sign up for after you get settled in. This is fraudulent adverstising that should be investigated by the BBB and state attorney general.

Terrible don’t store your stuff there once you move they will start increase the monthly rent every month.

Extremely easy over the phone or online move In. I decided to get a storage unit and within let’s say 20 minutes I was ready to move in. Online was very easy. I ended up doing it over the phone just because of needing to do a 24 hour unit, but they are very reasonably priced and the staff isn’t constantly telling you what to do and that you need to leave they’re very Courteous and understand that you are storing things that mean something to you and they show that. I wouldn’t store anywhere else.

I’ve officially been a renter here for three days, and I’m already planning my emotional recovery tour. I rented my unit online through the portal like a responsible adult. I read the entire welcome packet — yes, the whole thing — to make sure there were no hidden balloon payments, secret initiation rituals, or “surprise!” clauses. Everything looked normal. Lock instructions? Check. Gate code? Supposedly. Facility map? Check. So I head to the Extra Space Storage location on Bothell Everett Highway ready to move in… and immediately begin my audition for a survival reality show. I arrive to a locked door with a code I do not possess. No problem — surely a quick human interaction will solve this. I see a gentleman near the gate and politely ask, “Excuse me sir, do you work here? I just need a door code.” His response? “As of right now, I don’t.” Gate closes. Car starts. Off into the sunset he goes. I respect the commitment to the bit. Next logical step: customer service. For two hours and eighteen minutes (yes, I counted — I was in a U-Haul, time was all I had), I attempted to gain access. Customer service tried calling the manager and assistant manager multiple times. No answer. No callback. Just me, a truck full of belongings, and a growing appreciation for irony. Fast forward to Monday, 2/16/26. I walk into the office. The manager greets me with the professional enthusiasm of someone who has already mentally muted the conversation. I calmly explain what happened, including the now-legendary “As of right now, I don’t” moment. I’m informed that someone lives on-site and “helps after hours,” but is not obligated to help after hours. Fascinating concept. I also learn that the door code was emailed that morning — which is impressive considering I needed it the day before, and it should have been in the “Welcome” email. To be clear, I’m not upset that policies exist. I’m upset that access to the unit I paid $174 for apparently exists in theory. Also worth mentioning: the security guard appeared to be deep into what I hope was a very restorative nap. If you enjoy puzzles, suspense, and testing the limits of customer service response times, this may be your spot. If you simply want access to the storage unit you rented, you may want to explore other locations. I genuinely hope this improves. But based on my first three days, this has been less “Extra Space” and more “Extra Steps.”
