Low elevation, about 2,090 feet
At roughly 2,090 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.

Ione, Washington Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Ione stands at about 2,090 feet on the west bank of the Pend Oreille River, in the steep Selkirk Mountains. A sawmill drove the economy for nearly a century, until the Vaagen Brothers mill closed in 1995. Since then, most jobs have come from the Box Canyon and Boundary hydroelectric dams, and SR 31 runs through town.
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 Ione site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Ione
A long haul from Olympia
Ione is about 280 miles in a straight line from our Olympia warehouse, so this is a planned delivery, not a same-day one. Road distance runs longer than that, and we confirm the route, permits, and timing at quote. In an emergency, call first and we start immediately.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Ione
Dam maintenance outages
Box Canyon and Boundary dams supply much of the area's work. Major maintenance at hydro projects can bring contractor crews who need hot meals, showers, and sleeping units close to the worksite.
School kitchen disruptions
Students here attend the Selkirk School District, since the Ione elementary school closed in 2005. If a district kitchen fails during the school year, a temporary kitchen or refrigeration trailer can keep meals going until repairs finish.
Road and bridge disruptions
The Ione Bridge is the only road crossing of the Pend Oreille River for a long stretch, and SR 31 is the main route through town. If a closure interrupts food deliveries, a facility could hold supplies in a refrigeration trailer on site.
- Dam maintenance crew meals and housing
- School kitchen disruption backup service
- Contractor camp showers and restrooms
Delivery from our Olympia warehouse to Ione
We keep equipment in Olympia, the Washington capital, and plan every delivery from there. Ione is about 280 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 Ione
From Olympia, take I-5 and I-90 east, then US 2 north to SR 20, which follows the Pend Oreille River north to the SR 31 junction. SR 31 then runs into Ione across the Ione Millpond. Winter snow is normal on this route; plan accordingly.
The closest towns we serve are Metaline (about 8 miles), Metaline Falls (9 miles), and Northport (20 miles).
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Steep Selkirk terrain and a single river crossing make Ione dependent on a few roads. When a power outage or road disruption puts food service at risk, our 24/7 emergency deployment can bring refrigeration or a kitchen trailer.

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
Who handles food permits in the Ione area?
The Northeast Tri County Health District covers Pend Oreille, Stevens, and Ferry counties, and its food safety program is part of environmental health. Call early to confirm what a temporary kitchen or trailer setup needs for your event.
Can trailers support crews working near the river?
Sleeper, shower, and restroom units can support crews, but approvals vary by site. Check with the county and the health district, and tell us about the site's power, water, and wastewater so we can match the units.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Ione 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 Ione 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.
