I am trying to understand- I do not know if my needing just 17 days was the problem or if they didnt check when they said they had space. I always feel bad when business relationships turn out so. I am leaving it as a 3 for an average- I had such delightful positive interactions in past.

Not much has changed since Simply Self changed hands. They assume you're a deadbeat and screw up the billing but with private equity involved, their dunning emails are a little slicker and a little friendlier. You *have to* download their app in order to sign your contract or membership or whatever they call it. When my payment didn't make it in on time thanks to Chase and Jamie Dimon they jumped on me and rather than go through the sorting hassle, I simply paid the bill twice. A human called shortly after about my bill and found my two payments. I said just add it to my account...ciao. This pays me up thru January. But this very day I got an email with my balance due for December. Oh, please... Their "chat bot" must have been out to lunch so I left a vm for the Market St. "property manager" to explain that I'm paid up thru 2023. But I'm tired of this stuff and for paying over $100/mo. to store artifacts that are weighing me down anyway. I'm going to get the boxes, go through them, give or throw away whatever's in there, and quit my job as archivist for family memories. As I do I'll remember Robert Herrick's wonderful 17th Cent. poem, the only English-language poem written in monometer, or so I've heard: "Thus I, Pass by, And die, As one, Unknown, And gone."

Back in September, she called me to let e know I hadn't properly locked my storage-space door, and when I got there to fix that, she gladly accompanied me up to show me how the locking works. I really appreciated the vigilance, because I had been there only the day before. Obviously, Lisa was checking to make sure things were locked up right. I see by other reviews that some people have had problems, and I can't speak to that, but compared to the storage company where I, myself, last rented a space, Ballard CubeSmart is many cuts above.

I have a 70sq ft unit. I entered at $151/month in January 2025. May 2025 they raised it to $193…read more December 2025 they raised it to $220. An increase of 45% in one year. There are currently 120sq ft units listed at $156/month. If you are 6 days late, you face a fee of $44. If you are 30 days late, they begin the auction process in which case you have to pay a $200 fee. They are more interested in getting you in cheap, raising your rate quick and forcing evictions for quick turn around. As the manager told me, "Storage isn't meant to be a long term thing, you're only supposed to be here for a few months. We have people with the same size unit as you that have been here for years that are paying $400-500".

After 12 years of having a storage unit and mailbox there, after the place was sold to SecureSpace,…read morethings changed to the worst. Frequent rent increases made it very unaffordable, I moved out of the storage unit, but kept the mailbox. Recently, I got an email saying I was being EVICTED from the mailbox. After several phone calls, I got an answer "that USPS has decided that SecureSpace nolonger qualifies to be a mailbox service". I called USPS, they said they did not disqualify SecureSpace. So, was i lied to? Major inconvenience to get a new mailing address. 12 years of being a customer, and I get corporate b.s. After being "evicted", I still got a bill for the following month! My experience since SecureSpace has been very poor, bad communication and lies. Very unprofessional and unorganized.

Note: this is not reviewing their shipping services…read more I had driven past Sip and Ship sites for years, Ballard now shuttered, and Greenwood remained open. However, their 2/25/26 IG post caught my attention with regards of their version of Cafe Besalu's ginger biscuit. Direct quote: "reimagined by our talented baker Emma in our little bakery corner. She's perfected the texture, warmth, and that signature ginger sparkle." Some background info: Cafe Besalu was a beloved pastry shop in Ballard from 2000 - 2017. When the original owner and his family moved to Spain, the shop was sold to Herkimer Coffee, which then later closed the site permanently in 2023. Their 3/2/26 IG post literally got me in my car..."Flaky. Buttery. Perfectly spiced with that subtle ginger warmth that makes you pause mid-bite. This isn't just a cookie. It's a little Ballard classic - now freshly baked, ready, and waiting for you." I was able to get a parking spot close to the shop, never been until that morning. I was literally floored that this indeed had shipping and retail areas, but also an actual cafe with onsite seating - cafe tables and a window facing counter. But oh my what stopped me in my tracks was seeing the pastry case. I haven't seen such a lovely display in awhile. It seems most places, product are stacked, messy display case trays full of crumbs and pastries askew. Clearly head baker, Emma, takes full pride with the variety of baked goods nicely curated. I was told that the ginger biscuits were just pulled from the oven an hour ago. I purchased two of them and also one each of the peanut butter cookie and ginger molasses cookie. Heavenly scents permeated my car as I drove back north. The ginger biscuit had a nice tender, moist crumb. The Homie savored this the same day and brought him back to his childhood. I ate mine the next day and it was superb. Perfect distribution of the candied ginger warmth and that notable bejeweled top texture. Delicious! The ginger molasses cookie had that perfect balance of crisp edges and moist chew. The sugar exterior literally sparkled when I photographed it while on a road trip stop. The peanut butter cookie was ginormous and was very delicate. It had broken into five pieces. It was relatively thin, had a sandy texture, and subtle peanut butter flavor. The Phinney Ridge - Greenwood - Ballard neighborhoods has quite a collection of indie cafes and bakeshops. I'll have to say that Sip & Ship in Greenwood provided that gotcha moment with their high quality, fresh baked goods. Note to self - they have shipping and notary services too. But those baked goods....definitely, I'll be back!
