A regional moving and storage company is expanding its Northwest footprint with recent acquisitions in Richland and Moses Lake.

Bekins Northwest moved its offices from Pasco to Richland in June after buying Clancy’s Transfer & Storage.

The company also bought Crown Moving Co. in Moses Lake earlier this month, bringing the number of Bekins Northwest offices to nine, with locations in Richland, Walla Walla, Moses Lake, Yakima, Spokane, Seattle, Lakewood, Federal Way and Olympia.

The Olympia-based Bekins Northwest is working to create a “real great network for our customers,” said Ken Wendland, sales manager at the Richland office.

“To that end, we bought Sanders Transfer a year ago in Western Washington, Clancy’s in Richland about three months ago, closed on Clancy’s in Walla Walla about two months ago and bought Kennewick Transfer & Storage in Kennewick in April,” said Wendland.

Claude Bekins opened the Pasco office in the mid-50s. “We just outgrew it. We were bursting at the seams and had no more space for expansion,” Wendland said.

When the company heard the Conner family, which owned Clancy’s, was leaving the business, Bekins officials knew the timing was right. “And it was a perfect fit for us,” he said.

Bekins sold its Pasco facility to Campbell and Co., Wendland said.

Bekins Northwest’s Richland office added 10 more employees with the Clancy’s purchase, bringing its total number of employees to 30.

Across the Northwest, Bekins has 175 employees and operates 140 trucks and 100 trailers. The company’s revenue projection for next year is $25 million.

“We look forward to continuing the long lasting tradition of excellence that Clancy’s Transfer & Storage has established over the years,” said Robert Schmidt, vice president of sales and marketing, in a news release. He also said the Moses Lake acquisition will increase Bekins’ service capabilities to a “currently underserviced market in Eastern Washington.”

Founded in 1903 by a Seattle family, Bekins Northwest provides packing, moving, unpacking, short- and long-term storage, records storage and debris removal services. The company’s customers include residential, commercial, industrial and municipal customers throughout the Northwest. It is also the official mover of the Seattle Seahawks.

Bekins performs moves for Washington-based clients all over the world. It’s done work for Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Pasco School District, Brookdale Senior Living and Washington State University Wine Science Center. It also serves smaller customers, helping to move households, senior citizens into retirement homes or relocate doctors to Kadlec Regional Medical Center or Trios Health.

“There’s not a lot we don’t do,” Wendlund said.

Bekins Northwest’s Richland office is at 1100 Columbia Park Trail and online at to www.BekinsMovingandStorage.com.
