Towing South Lake Union Seattle — 24/7 Tow Truck in Under 15 Minutes
South Lake Union Towing From Our SoDo Yard
We Know the Mercer Mess — and How to Get Around It
Call %s and we dispatch from %s in SoDo — %s miles south of the lake. South Lake Union calls are usually reached in %s minutes, and we quote a realistic ETA that accounts for Mercer Street, not an optimistic one.
We tow and recover on Westlake Ave N, Mercer St, Fairview Ave N, Dexter Ave N, Valley St and every block of the Amazon campus and the biotech corridor. Flatbed and wheel-lift, jump starts, lockouts, tire and fuel, 24 hours a day.
South Lake Union is the most congested square mile in Seattle, and towing here is about timing and routing:
- The Mercer Mess — Mercer St between I-5 and SR-99 can add 15 minutes at 5pm. We route via Dexter, Westlake or Fairview depending on the hour and tell you which on the call
- Office tower and apartment garages — Amazon campus, Vulcan buildings and the Fairview biotech garages have multi-level structures with tight ramps; our wheel-lift truck handles them
- Streetcar tracks on Westlake and Terry — motorcycle and bike crashes on the rails are common, and motorcycle recovery is done with soft straps and chocks
- Lake-side and marina access on Westlake and Fairview for boat-trailer breakdowns and stuck vehicles at the launch ramps
