Public Storage
Kirkland self-storage with covered, indoor and outdoor parking, 24/7 gated access and a manager reviewers keep praising by name.
Kirkland sits on the east shore of Lake Washington, so boats here are not weekend toys for a lot of people. They are part of the routine. There are 3 boat storage facilities in town and another 2 nearby, and the listings lean toward covered, indoor and outdoor spots. Average rating across them is 4.8 from well over 900 reviews combined.

Three facilities carry the boat label in Kirkland, and the type counts show real overlap: 2 covered, 2 indoor and 2 outdoor. Two of the listings also take vehicles, which matters if you tow with the same rig you park. If your boat lives on a trailer, ask how the trailer is stored before you sign anything, because trailer-specific space is not listed here. Two of the facilities offer 24/7 gate access. That is a bigger deal than it sounds. Launch windows and tide-free lake days do not always line up with office hours, and a locked gate at 6 a.m. can cost you the morning.
Covered storage keeps rain and direct sun off the hull and cover, but the sides stay open to weather. Indoor storage closes that gap. For a boat that sits through a wet Northwest winter, indoor space is the easier choice if the budget allows, since mold and gelcoat staining are the usual complaints after a damp season. Outdoor spots work fine for a trailer boat you use often. Just expect to wash and re-cover more. UV wears covers, seats and gelcoat over time, so a cheap cover replaced every other year is not really cheap. Ask each facility what the ground surface is and whether the spot drains.
Public Storage shows up twice in the top listings, rated 4.8 from 333 reviews and 4.7 from 631 reviews. Both carry covered, indoor, outdoor, boat and vehicle types, and both are gated, lit and offer 24/7 access. Eastside RV and Boat Storage is the third, rated 5.0 from a small handful of reviews, so treat that number as promising rather than proven. Read the recent reviews on the two larger sites and look for comments about gate function, lighting and how staff handle problems after hours. Those details show up in reviews long before they show up in a brochure.
There are 3 boat storage facilities listed in Kirkland, with another 2 nearby. Two of the three offer covered space, two offer indoor space and two offer outdoor space, so the mix covers most storage preferences.
Yes, 2 of the 3 facilities list 24/7 gate access. Call ahead to confirm the code and entry process, and ask what to do if the gate fails outside business hours.
The two Public Storage locations lead the list, one with 333 reviews and a 4.8 rating, the other with 631 reviews and a 4.7 rating. Eastside RV and Boat Storage is rated 5.0 but has only a couple of reviews so far.
For a boat stored through the wet winter, indoor space limits rain, sun and mold exposure. Outdoor space is cheaper and fine for a trailer boat you launch often, as long as you wash and cover it regularly.
