Our knowledge runs the gamut from the busy urban corridors in the Puget Sound region to the rural agricultural sectors of Eastern Washington and the Columbia Plateau. Repossessing assets from Washington’s geek tech sector in Seattle is dramatically different than repossessing agricultural equipment in Yakima Valley or marine vessels in the San Juan Islands. Our crews have handled challenging recoveries in some of the worst winter weather Washington is known for from road closures on Snoqualmie Pass to recoveries in remote areas of the Olympic Peninsula during torrential downpours of rain (think of a very wet and muddy scene in Barry Levinson’s film, Rain Man).
As a border state and part of the US economy, Washington creates some of the most complicated repossession scenarios in the country. As discussed earlier, we have repossessed everything from high quality and high tech manufacturing equipment used in manufacturing for Boeing’s aerospace operations, to more specialized agricultural farming equipment serving Washington’s $9.5 billion farming economy. Additionally, we have facilitated repossessions at major seaports like Seattle-Tacoma where the precision and documentation demanded by international commerce cannot happen quickly enough.

Advantages Specific to Washington:
Cascade Mountain Recovery Skills: We’ve recovered assets in some of the toughest mountain recovery terrain in Washington. We even have specialized equipment for going up North Cascade Highway (SR-20) and can recover at elevation. Recently, we recovered a $2.3 million logging truck that slid off I-90 near Snoqualmie Pass during a snowstorm in December; this illustrates our ability to manage complex mountain recovery safely.
Marine Vessel Recovery Capability: Washington has a long coastline and lots of inland waterways. We have marine recovery capability for Puget Sound, Lake Washington, and the coastal recovery areas. Our recovery team is certified for watercraft recovery, and we have good contacts with marina’s in Bellingham, Tacoma, and Olympia which makes it easy to recover boats and yachts.
Aerospace Program Experience: Boeing and Washington’s 1,500+ aerospace companies need handling of precision equipment that meets the requirements. We understand the unique security protocols, environmental controls, and transportation requirements for aerospace equipment. We recovered specialized tooling and test equipment for aerospace companies worth over millions of dollars and demonstrated a strict chain-of-custody in some operations.
Services Developed around Washington Industries
Standard Vehicle Recovery: Washington has a diverse topography and, as a result, has a preference for pick-up trucks, SUVs and all-wheel drive vehicles. We love the challenge of picking up trucks from Seattle to Stevens County
Commercial Equipment Recovery: Much like aerospace cutting tools, we understand specialized equipment – precision machining and generally the equipment that drives Washington’s $854 billion economy
Recreational Vehicle Repossession: Outdoor recreation culture in Washington translates into motor-vehicles; we have experience towing, removing, and repo-ing everything from Class A motorhomes and campers to all types of specialized camping equipment. Marine Asset Recovery: Fully licensed for boat and watercraft recovery across Puget Sound, all coastal waters, and all inland lakes through our contracted relationships with the large Top 100 marinas in Washington State
Agricultural Equipment Repossession: Specializing in recovering farm equipment for the apple orchards, wheat fields, and variety of agricultural businesses across Eastern Washington
Technology Asset Recovery: Safely recovering high-value tech equipment and servers while meeting the data protection responsibilities of Washington’s technology sector
Comprehensive Coverage Strategy
Our operations throughout Washington are demarcated by the three distinct geographies of the state. Our base of operations in Western Washington is Seattle and Tacoma where we can readily serve the Puget Sound megalopolis along with satellite operations locations in Bellingham, Everett, and Olympia. Eastern Washington, we have operations based in Spokane with coverage extending the Tri-Cities, Yakima, and Wenatchee.
Interstate Highway Expertise: We use Washington’s extensive interstate highway system for quick access with teams based to service I-5 all the way from Vancouver to Blaine, servicing I-90 from Seattle to Spokane, and servicing I-405 from Seattle to the Eastside. Our logistical planning accounts for seasonal events such as closures over Cascade passes and that some of the rural areas in Ferry and Pend Oreille Counties may add extra travel time.
Principal Coverage Areas: Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Spokane, Vancouver, Everett, Yakima, Bellingham, Kennewick-Richland-Pasco (Tri-Cities), Longview, Olympia, Mount Vernon, Wenatchee, Walla Walla, Moses Lake, and Aberdeen.
Geographic Challenges: Washington’s unique geography introduces challenges specifically requiring a unique solution. We have capabilities to recover seven days a week, rain or shine in the Olympic Peninsula rainforest, altitude capable units for higher elevations in the Cascades, drought-proof vehicles for Columbia Basin recoveries, and operations throughout Western Washington. Everyone on our teams have gotten to know and understand, for example, that a “standard” recovery in Sequim looks a lot different than the preparation for recovery in Republic, or La Push.
Washington Legal Compliance
Washington has repo laws that require specialized skills that we have developed through thousands of successful recoveries. Washington has a 10-day post-repossession notice requirement for debtors; with an exceptional tracking system, we can assure compliance with RCW 62A.9-623 notices.
Unique State Requirements: Washington repossession companies are required to be licensed collection agencies, which we are under chapter 19.16 RCW qualifications, and our agents all carry current certification. We are fully bonded under State required levels, and our specialized insurance recognizes the high asset values in Washington, particularly assets in technology and aerospace.
County Variations: Washington has 39 counties in which we must circumnavigate different recording requirements, like King Counties electronic filings versus paper formats in rural counties. We also have the experience and insight to attempt resolving issues where we run up against tribal sovereignty for recoveries on reservation lands.
Self-Help Repossession Compliance: We ensure compliance with Washington’s self-help repossession statues, and we are careful we do not breach the peace in accordance to the Washington statute definitions of public versus private property. Our peaceful recovery rate of 98.7% demonstrates our understanding of Washington law and the protocols of local law enforcement agencies.
After 15 years of operating in Washington State, Speedy Repo has a recovery success rate of 96.4% and an average mobilization time of 2.4 hours to complete a recovery in a metropolitan area, and 4.1 hours in rural areas. Speed Repo has recovered over $847 million in assets throughout Washington State; the type of assets recovered have ranged from $50,000 Tesla automobiles in Bellevue to $1.2 million agricultural combines in the Palouse region.
