Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 1815 12th Avenue, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Jeannette was an absolute delight to speak with, and did a wonderful job helping to get me setup; she showed me a few units, making sure I knew the pros and cons of each, while explaining all the ins and outs of access and so forth along the way. ... Read more
Jace S. - 1 March 2026
I'm so happy to have found this place. There's a place you can park below while unloading (and if you need to rent a parking space that's another possibility at this place). Units are a very reasonable price. There's a discount going on right now, which also happens through the year during holidays I think. Jeanette was the associate that helped me figure out which unit would work for my needs and she was very helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. I look forward to moving in. ... Read more
Robin J. - 28 February 2026
Jeanette above and beyond what I'm accustomed to in order to ensure that I got the storage space that I needed at the time that I needed it. Her attitude was positive throughout our interaction, she made me feel like I was the most important customer she had ever dealt with. I will not soon forget my experience with Jeanette. She is a true asset to your company, and you should do everything you can to hold on to her, and train others to be more like her. ... Read more
Samuel M. - 21 February 2026
Jeanette was such a wonderful and helpful associate. She got creative with some issues we had vacating and things turned out better than we could have expected. Also when we were moving in she made it a very smooth process. We have moved in to this facility 3 times and she has made it the best so far. ... Read more
Andy M. - 30 January 2026
I encountered some significant issues at this facility. Out of the two elevators available, one has been broken for over two months, and the other was out of service today when I needed to move a large dresser. Additionally, there’s no direct line to contact the manager, and the public storage unit phone line was unhelpful in connecting me to someone. While the location itself is convenient, the strict operating hours, ongoing elevator problems, and recent fee increases have made me wish I had chosen a more reliable storage company. ... Read more
Summer B. - 19 October 2025
The location is great, and the staff is amazing. Every person I interacted with was extremely helpful. But there was one dealbreaker. After I rented my unit, I read some reviews about evidence of rodents. Most of my belongings were in cardboard boxes, and the insurance for vermin infestation is very limited. So before I had my belongings moved into the unit, I bought two glue traps and put them on the floor of the unit. Just the glue traps - nothing else. I went back a day and a half later to check them, fully expecting that they would be just as I had left them. They were not. In the span of less than two days, three mice had gotten caught in the traps - inside my empty storage unit. I canceled the unit and moved my belongings to another facility. ... Read more
Grover C. - 4 October 2025
Jeanette was the best !!!! She helped me move in smoothly, quickly and showed me the best way to get around the storage facility and where to find the carts. There were a lot of other people coming in during my time with her in the office and she always remained so bubbly and upbeat and kind with all of us. I love Public Storage !!!! I swear they have the nicest employees at any storage facility I have been to !!! ... Read more
M A. - 30 August 2025
Jeanette was an absolutely dream after we'd had a bad experience at another location. She was polite, friendly, gave us a through tour and made us feel reassured about the security of the space. She even sent us to another location when we found a better deal that matched our needs. Thank you so much Jeanette!! ... Read more
JACQUELYN S. - 29 August 2025
Let me just tell you that, while this location has had ups and downs over the years, the new management is EXCELLENT. Jeanette is an absolute joy to work with. I initially had some challenges with getting my account started online and customer service had schedule me an appt for the next day instead. Ok, fine, no big deal. About 15 minutes later, I get a call from Jeanette and she offered that I could come by today and get everything set up. She's incredibly pleasant on the phone and even more so in person - something that you are hard pressed to find in customer service. Upon arrival, Jeanette walked me through my options to meet my needs. She walked me through both units allowing me to make an informed decision. She discussed all the building information I would need and then walked me through the process of getting everything set up for my new unit. Jeanette is a STAR and Public Storage is lucky to have her on their team. I'm extremely happy to know that such a wonderful person is in charge of that location and look forward to running into her when I am on-site. Thanks, Jeanette!!!! ... Read more

Brad M. - 22 August 2025
This review is for Jeanette, the facility manager. She reached out to help resolve a payment issue and went above and beyond by proactively clarifying other concerns I had. She handled everything with professionalism and represents the company exceptionally well. Public Storage is lucky to have her—especially given that some of the company’s broader business practices feel questionable, if not unethical. ... Read more
Tyler B. - 7 August 2025
Be wary of frequent and substantial rent increases!! I have been renting a space here for 3 months and just received an email that my rate is increasing significantly next month. Called customer service and they were no help. Might recommend a storage spot with secure rates/annual terms of agreement. ... Read more
Devon O. - 4 August 2025
Jeanette is the kindest and most professional storage facility manager I've ever met! We originally tried to rent a 10x20 foot unit for our business, but she showed us the 15x15 and the 10x15 and we ended up going with the 10x15, which saved us about $50/month. Jeanette has a great sense of what size unit you'll really need when renting, and she made the signup process as smooth as can be. She also seems to make friends with all of the tenants in the building and goes out of her way to make them feel comfortable. Will definitely be using this facility again if I ever need a personal unit! ... Read more
Josaiah C. - 28 July 2025
An incredibly smooth process getting a unit! Jeanette made the experience easy and is so personable. You can tell she cares about her customers. Would absolutely recommend and will come back to the 12 Ave location in the future! ... Read more
Sadie S. - 20 June 2025
Jeanette was so wonderful and so helpful! It was so immediately evident how she wanted to make sure we got the best unit for our needs while also making it clear all the efforts she goes through to make sure our things will be safe. If she isn’t already, she should absolutely be the manager. Jeanette rocks! ... Read more
Ryan H. - 31 May 2025
We were having a really tough time figuring out how to enter the garage and get to our storage unit. However, our superhero Jeanette, came to our rescue and helped us access our account so we could have a smooth move in process from there. She was incredibly kind and very helpful! The building is very secure and I'm glad I chose this storage! Thank you again Jeanette! ... Read more
Santana A. - 24 February 2025
Outstanding Service and Incredibly Helpful Staff! I recently rented a storage unit at Public Storage on Capitol Hill, and I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, optimized my options and found perfect unit size for my needs. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their customers. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and feels very secure. ... Read more
Katya K. - 12 February 2025
It was my first time using public storage, and I initially had concerns about potential issues like thief or poor management. However, I was completely SATISFIED with the service. The woman manager was incredibly kind and friendly and made the move-out process quick and efficient. I highly recommend this storage facility for anyone looking to rent in the Seattle area. ...

Seoheee A. - 6 February 2025
Opened up a new storage unit at this Seattle location, and had the pleasure of getting fantastic and amazing assistance by Katlyn who was working there. I had to switch my storage unit and they explained everything in great detail and were tremendous help to me! Will be recommending this to all friends in the area in need of storage! ... Read more
Matt - 6 January 2025
I had an amazing experience at Public Storage, all thanks to Janelle! She is the sweetest and most helpful person I’ve ever met. From start to finish, she made the process of selecting the right storage unit incredibly smooth and stress-free. She took the time to explain everything clearly and transparently, which I really appreciated. Janelle’s kindness and professionalism truly stood out, and I couldn’t be happier with the excellent service I received. If you’re looking for storage, I highly recommend this location – and be sure to ask for Janelle!! ... Read more

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Public Storage - 1815 12th Avenue has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The storage units offered by Public Storage - 1815 12th Avenue can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 200 square feet. You can go for smaller units if you don't have a lot of items to store, while choosing a larger space is recommended in case you need to store a lot of furniture, bigger items or even vehicles.

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store. On the one hand, you should think of smaller units (5'x5' or 5'x10') as closets – they can be used to store chairs, lamps, moving boxes and sports equipment, along with smaller pieces of furniture, books and documents.

On the other hand, the 10'x10' and 10'x15' spaces are good for storing larger items of furniture, bicycles and a larger number of possessions. If you need even more space, then 10'x20' and 10'x30' units can easily accommodate the contents of an entire 3- or 4-bedroom house.

Storage units offered by Public Storage - 1815 12th Avenue come at a variety of prices, starting from $53 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $384 a month.

We know that when it comes to self storage, there is nothing more important than quickness and accessibility. Drive-up access is an extremely convenient amenity, as you can park your vehicle right next to your unit, making it significantly easier to load and unload the items you will use storage for. However, drive-up storage units tend to be outdoors, so you might consider indoor storage spaces with climate control if you're looking to keep temperature-sensitive items in peak condition.

Yes, you might, depending on what you need to put in storage. Climate-controlled spaces keep temperatures and humidity levels consistent all the time, which means they are perfect for storing sensitive items. Seeing that a whole host of things can be damaged by varying temperatures and excessive moisture, many people choose to rent climate-controlled units for personal items such as documents, photographs, paintings, collectibles, electronics, wooden furniture, antiques and even vehicles. If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
