Everson, WA Mobile Commercial Kitchen Rentals and Emergency Cold Storage

What past disasters mean for kitchens in Everson

OpenFEMA lists 25 disaster declarations that include Whatcom County, going back to 1971. The most frequent incident types were flooding (13 declarations) and severe storms (6 declarations). A project that reaches Nooksack should read that page too; it lists the declarations for its county.

The most recent is Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4906), declared April 7, 2026, with the incident beginning December 5, 2025. Floodwater can contaminate kitchen equipment and force closures until cleanup and inspection are finished, which is when replacement cooking, dishwashing and cold storage matter. By incident type, the count is flooding 13, severe storms 6, wildfire 2, coastal storm 1 and earthquake 1. By decade: 1970s 4, 1980s 2, 1990s 5, 2000s 5, 2010s 5 and 2020s 4. Earlier declarations include Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3629, December 12, 2025), Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4635, January 5, 2022), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4539, April 23, 2020), Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, Mudslides, Tornado (DR-4418, March 4, 2019) and Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, Mudslides (DR-4309, April 21, 2017).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 2 county-based severe-weather event records for Whatcom County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (2). The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flood in November 2021, with about $34 million in property damage. After a flood the pad matters as much as the unit: a rental kitchen needs firm, well-drained ground and a clear route in.

Whatcom County is the origin of 10 mapped wildfires of 1,000 acres or more since 2016, adding up to roughly 55,986 acres, according to NIFC. The biggest, Border 2, burned 23,857 acres in 2026. Smoke, evacuations and power shutoffs can close kitchens and spoil stock even when the flames never reach the building.

Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.

Major construction near Everson

USASpending.gov lists 13 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Whatcom County since October 2021, worth about $76 million together. USASpending.gov shows a $40 million General Services Administration contract, “Pacific Highway Land Port of Entry Lane Expansion Project,” starting September 2024 in Whatcom County (award record). The General Services Administration committed $19 million to “Design Build Pacific Highway Land Port of Entry, Exterior Renovation” in Whatcom County, awarded February 2021 (award record). Another public record is “FSR 37 Deadhorse Road Relocation Disaster Relief Project,” a $4.4 million Department of Agriculture contract from June 2025 in Whatcom County (award record). In July 2024, the Department of Defense awarded a $1.9 million contract for “NWS - Nooksack River Levee Repairs (Upper Hamilton and Timon)” in Whatcom County, with work running to October 2024 (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A job in Lynden (about 16,783 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.

Rebuilds and remodels around Everson

The Department of Homeland Security committed $1.9 million to “Build Armory in Bellingham Training Facility and to Install Roof at Blain Station Sally Port” in Whatcom County, awarded September 2024 (award record). The closure date drives the plan in Sumas too.
