From high school project to 15 years on Chuckanut Drive, Ross Black marks growth with revolutionary delivery precision for Skagit Valley farms & families.
BURLINGTON, WA, UNITED STATES, August 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Get Simple Box Storage Containers is officially marking its 15th anniversary in Burlington. Since opening its doors on August 17, 2011, the local portable storage provider has grown from an entrepreneurial startup into a trusted community staple across the Skagit Valley, combining personal, local service with state-of-the-art delivery technology.
A Senior Class Project That Built a Local Business The story of Get Simple Box started with a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback. Founder Ross Black worked four years as a dishwasher to buy his dream car, fixing it up alongside his dad, Dave. When faced with completing a high school Senior Class Project, Dave challenged Ross to do something big. Ross decided to sell his Mustang to start a small storage warehouse, which eventually evolved into the Get Simple Box concept.
15 years after opening the Burlington facility, Dave still jokes: “We’re still trying to help Ross complete his senior class project!”
3 Guiding Promises: Transparency, Simplicity, and Local Delivery
As Get Simple Box celebrates 15 years in Burlington, the company’s growth remains grounded in three core promises to every customer:
Transparency You Can Trust: Unlike other container companies that don’t allow potential customers to see their container until the moment it arrives on their property, we invite customers to come to our Burlington yard to inspect and choose their own container. Customers get exact photos, clear descriptions, and upfront container pricing right from the start, eliminating surprises and building total confidence. Delivered exclusively by our very own, highly trained local drivers (never third-party haulers), if the delivered box doesn’t match what was chosen, Get Simple Box picks it up for free.
Simplicity From Start to Finish: The local team handles everything in-house, ensuring a simple, stress-free experience from the first quote to final pickup. This commitment to effortless service is what paved the way for our newest innovation: the revolutionary “Box Bot” delivery system.
The “Box Bot”: The Ultimate Delivery System for Farms, Jobsites, and Driveways
To mark 15 years of local growth, the Chuckanut Drive yard has upgraded its capabilities with the “Box Bot”, a state-of-the-art, remote-controlled delivery system designed to solve complex placement challenges across Burlington:
Driveway-Friendly Precision: Operates without heavy trucks backing onto driveways, protecting pavement, lawns, and residential property.
Level Loading for Delicate Cargo: Container contents remain completely level at all times during loading and delivery, safeguarding farm harvests, manufacturing goods, and household possessions.
Tight Space Capability: Requires only 9 feet of overhead delivery clearance and features 360-degree remote visibility, making it easy to place containers in tight driveways, narrow farm gates, or active jobsites.
Heavy Capacity: Safely lifts and maneuvers up to 7,500 lbs with pinpoint accuracy.
Supporting Burlington’s Farming and Manufacturing Roots
Burlington’s economy is anchored by its rich agricultural output and strong manufacturing sector. Over the last 15 years, Get Simple Box has played a vital role in supporting these local industries, while giving back through consistent community support and local charitable initiatives, by providing fast, weather-tight container solutions for seasonal crop storage, machinery, jobsite materials, and residential moves.
“When I sold my Mustang to start a storage company, my goal was simple: help people move and store their things, so they can focus on the things that matter most.” says Ross Black, Founder of Get Simple Box. “15 years later, we are deeply grateful to our neighbors in Burlington and across the Skagit Valley who have trusted us with their farms, businesses, and homes. Investing in our team and in tools like the BoxBot allows us to serve the community with even greater safety and precision while staying true to the local, personal service we started with.”
Local residents, contractors, farmers, and business owners are invited to visit the Burlington container yard on Chuckanut Drive, meet the local team, or request a container quote online at getsimplebox.com/burlington/
