Low elevation, about 2,010 feet
At roughly 2,010 feet there is no altitude adjustment for burners, ovens, or dish-machine water. Humidity and heat matter more, and we plan refrigeration and ventilation around them.

Cle Elum, Washington Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Cle Elum lies along I-90 on the east side of Snoqualmie Pass at 1,909 feet, and eastbound drivers often treat it as the start of Eastern Washington. Coal mining and sawmills built the town, which averages about 75 inches of snow a year. Camping, outdoor recreation and the nearby Suncadia resort drive visitor traffic.
We rent mobile kitchen trailers, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration trailers as short-term rentals or long-term leases. Call any hour or request availability and a quote for your Cle Elum site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Cle Elum
Delivery from Olympia
About 90 miles in a straight line from our Olympia warehouse. That is a regional delivery: we confirm the road route, any seasonal limits, and the timing when we quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Cle Elum
Pass closures and stranded travelers
I-90 is the only divided highway across the state's Cascades and closes when weather turns extreme. A closure at the pass can leave travelers and truckers waiting, and a kitchen trailer lets a shelter or host site serve hot meals.
Wildfire seasons
The Jolly Mountain Fire evacuated 154 homes near Cle Elum, and the Red Bridge Fire in June 2025 prompted Level 3 evacuations north of town. A 1918 downtown fire burned 29 blocks. Crews and evacuees need meals, showers and cold storage, which a kitchen, shower and refrigeration setup on site can provide.
Summer resort and camp events
Cle Elum is known for camping and outdoor recreation, and Suncadia Resort lies nearby, drawing guests in summer. A camp, retreat or event operator in the area can add trailer kitchens and dishwashing capacity for busy summer weekends when permanent facilities fall short.
- Wildfire crew and evacuee meal service
- Feeding travelers during pass closures
- Summer resort and camp event catering
Delivery from our Olympia warehouse to Cle Elum
We keep equipment in Olympia, the Washington capital, and plan every delivery from there. Cle Elum is about 90 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Getting a trailer to Cle Elum
From Olympia, trailers go north on I-5 to I-90, then east over Snoqualmie Pass (summit about 3,015 feet) and down to Cle Elum. Chains can be required in winter and the pass closes in extreme weather, so check WSDOT before departure.
If your project spans more than one site, South Cle Elum, about 1 mile from Cle Elum, and Roslyn, about 10 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Kittitas at 29 miles.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Fire and snow both disrupt the area: the Jolly Mountain Fire evacuated 154 homes near Cle Elum, and Snoqualmie Pass averages over 400 inches of snow a year. A 24/7 emergency deployment can supply meals, showers or cold storage for crews and evacuees.

How a rental works
Rentals run by the month, with short-term and long-term options. Delivery, setup, and pickup are coordinated for your site. An inquiry does not reserve equipment; a person confirms availability, delivery time, and terms with you. Hours: open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setup usually takes about five hours for kitchens and dishwashing trailers and about one hour for refrigeration units, and an inquiry is the first step, not a reservation.

Frequently asked questions
Can winter weather stop a trailer on I-90?
Yes. Chains may be required on Snoqualmie Pass, and the highway closes when weather becomes extreme. Check WSDOT pass conditions before leaving, and expect to wait if a closure is in place.
Which agency permits food service at a Cle Elum event?
Kittitas County Public Health oversees food safety in the county. Rules differ by event and by how food is prepared, so call the department early to confirm which permits apply to a trailer-based kitchen.
How fast can a trailer get to Cle Elum if our kitchen is down?
Call (888) 385-5513 at any hour and we begin planning on that call. Trailers leave from our Olympia warehouse, and the delivery time to Cle Elum depends on the equipment and the road, which we confirm in your quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
Not by itself. We reply with availability, timing, and terms first, and equipment is reserved only after you agree to them.
