Low elevation, about 1,620 feet
At roughly 1,620 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.

Where a mobile kitchen helps in Dayton
County fair week
The Columbia County Fair has run in early September in recent years, with rodeo events, contests, a craft market, and livestock classes. Volunteer groups and concession booths often need more cooking and washing capacity than the fairgrounds provide. A mobile kitchen and dishwashing trailer can fill that gap.
Dayton Days weekend
Dayton Days brings live music, a parade, and a rodeo in late May, according to a regional travel site. Crowds on Main Street and at the rodeo grounds can stretch local restaurants and caterers, and a temporary kitchen can support organizers, volunteers, and visiting vendors.
Rebuilding after river flooding
The Touchet River flooded in 2020, damaging homes and businesses enough that the county offered a tax reduction to affected owners. A restaurant or institutional kitchen put out of service by water can restore meal service with a temporary kitchen trailer while permanent repairs continue.

Wikipedia notes that wildfires are common in Dayton's dry July through September stretch, and the 2020 Touchet River flood damaged homes and businesses in town. Either event can knock out a kitchen or cold storage and call for temporary feeding.

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
Is the area near the river a flood concern for placing a trailer?
The Touchet River runs through town and flooded in 2020. If a site is near the river or fairgrounds, ask the city and Columbia County officials about flood-prone areas and where utility hookups can safely be placed before scheduling delivery.
Who issues the temporary food permit for the fair?
Temporary food service in Washington goes through the local health jurisdiction. Contact the Columbia County health agency and the fair board to confirm what is required for a rented kitchen, including water supply, wastewater, and any plan review.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Dayton in an emergency?
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and emergency deployment starts with a phone call to (888) 385-5513. Equipment ships from our Olympia warehouse, and we confirm availability and delivery time to Dayton when we quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation only. Nothing is held until we have confirmed availability, delivery time, and terms with you.
