Low elevation, about 790 feet
At roughly 790 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.

Pateros, Washington Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Pateros sits where the Methow River meets the Columbia, on US 97, and carries the memory of the 2014 Carlton Complex Fire that burned much of the town. Each August the Pateros Hydro Classic puts hydroplane racing on the river. The Pateros Museum at City Hall has an exhibit on the fire.
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 Pateros site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Pateros
Delivery from Olympia
About 155 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 Pateros
Wildfire recovery and crew camps
The Carlton Complex reached Pateros on July 17, 2014, and destroyed over 100 homes in the area. Future fire seasons can again put crews and evacuees on the road, and a mobile kitchen, showers, and sleeper units can support response staging near the highway.
Hydroplane race weekend
The Pateros Hydro Classic has run in mid-August on a 1.25-mile oval course on the Columbia River and ends with fireworks. Race organizers and food vendors who need more capacity than a shoreline booth allows can add a mobile kitchen and a dishwashing trailer for the crowds that gather along the river.
Power or cooler loss in heat
In 2020, fires in the county damaged power lines along US 97, and summer heat is hard on coolers. A refrigeration trailer or container can hold food at restaurants, lodges, and institutional kitchens in town until the power or the permanent equipment is restored and inspected.
- Wildfire crew camp feeding and showers
- Hydro Classic vendor cooking
- Emergency cooler replacement during outages
Delivery from our Olympia warehouse to Pateros

Getting a trailer to Pateros
From Olympia, take I-5 north and I-90 east over Snoqualmie Pass, then US 97 north over Blewett Pass (4,102 feet) and along the Columbia, passing through Pateros at the mouth of the Methow River. Check WSDOT for winter pass conditions and wildfire closures.
The closest towns we serve are Brewster (about 7 miles), Bridgeport (11 miles), and Chelan (15 miles).
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
The 2014 Carlton Complex burned about 256,000 acres in Okanogan County and reached Pateros on the evening of July 17, when the area was placed under evacuation notice. 24/7 deployment suits crew feeding, evacuee meals, and refrigeration during outages.

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.
Why choose Simply Indians
When a kitchen closes for a renovation, a repair, or an emergency, the people it feeds still need to eat. Reliable Pateros mobile kitchen rentals and a team that picks up the phone keep service running on your schedule.

Site access, placement, power, water, and wastewater are checked before the trailer is on the road.
Why clients trust us
Our customers run commercial and institutional kitchens, including hospitals, schools, government and military sites, hotels, correctional facilities, and caterers.

Emergency refrigeration and kitchen rentals in Pateros
When a cooler warms up overnight, a flood closes the kitchen, or an inspector shuts down the dish room, call us and we begin planning the replacement on that call. It helps to have the unit's make, your available power, and the site address ready.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a food trailer at the Hydro Classic?
Probably, yes. Okanogan County Public Health issues temporary food service permits under the state retail food code, with applications due two weeks before an event. Contact the county office and the event organizer to confirm requirements.
How do wildfires affect delivery planning?
Wildfire can force evacuations and road closures on short notice, as the 2014 Carlton Complex showed. Check WSDOT and Okanogan County emergency alerts the day of a delivery, and ask dispatch about alternate staging if US 97 is affected.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Pateros 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 Pateros 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.
