Storage unit prices in Tacoma, WA

The 5x5 is the least predictable thing you can rent in Tacoma. 478% divides its cheapest tenth of branches from its dearest tenth, and nothing else on this page moves that far.

The Tacoma market reaches 6 further towns: Federal Way, Gig Harbor, Lacey, Lakewood, Puyallup, Spanaway.

Cheapest 10x10 in Tacoma: $47 on Meridian in Puyallup, $71 once the introductory rate lapses. The dearest branch, Canyon in Puyallup, starts at $157.
Bigger is not cheaper by the foot here. The 10x25 works out at $0.71 a square foot against $0.32 for the smaller 5x5.
That $47 rests on one address. The next cheapest branch, 18th Avenue, wants $69, so a unit gone from the first is a 47% jump rather than a short walk.
Rates here land 16% over the US median, so what moves them is the region rather than any one address.

Where these numbers come from. 139 advertised prices read from Public Storage's own published listings across 23 locations, last checked 2026-08-12.

Online rate vs regular rate. Every listing publishes two figures. Measured across thousands of observations, the regular rate is 1.5× the online rate at the median, with 88% inside 1% of that and none outside 1.40–1.60×. That is a pricing rule, not a second quote. The online rate is the promotional price for booking on the web; the regular rate is what the unit reverts to. Budget on the regular rate. Comparisons here hold the basis constant, so the gap between locations is real either way.

These are advertised rates for new rentals, not quotes — Public Storage states prices are not guaranteed and they move with availability. Insurance, admin fees and limited-time offers are not included.
