Temporary kitchen rental for Medina facilities
Operations around Medina that cannot pause food service can lease a mobile commercial kitchen for a week, a month or the length of a long renovation. A project that crosses into Clyde Hill (about 3,158 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.
Common choices include the 24ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A), the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A) and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.
Dishwashing and emergency refrigeration in Medina
A kitchen is only half of food service. A dishwashing trailer such as the 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer (220V, single phase, 300A) handles trays, plates and pans so Medina kitchens do not fall back on disposables. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Bellevue, 4 miles from here, as it does here.
When a compressor quits, product loss follows within hours. Emergency refrigerated trailers, such as the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F, are rented to restaurants, hotels, hospitals and institutions around Medina. A walk-in that fails in Seattle starts the same clock on the stock inside.
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in King County at 32°F and the average July high at 72°F, with about 75 inches of precipitation a year. January lows run about 4 degrees warmer than the average Washington county. In a wet climate the pad has to drain, so a rental kitchen is placed on firm, graded ground with a dry route for deliveries.

Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Medina
Federal records show King County designated in 33 declarations since 1964, led by flooding (17 declarations) and severe storms (11 declarations). A project that reaches Clyde Hill 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. Flooding tends to knock out power and drainage first, leaving kitchens unable to cook or keep food cold even when the building is standing. By incident type, the count is flooding 17, severe storms 11, earthquake 2, wildfire 1 and coastal storm 1. By decade: 1960s 2, 1970s 4, 1980s 3, 1990s 8, 2000s 8, 2010s 3 and 2020s 5. Earlier declarations include Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3629, December 12, 2025), Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4775, April 28, 2024), Bolt Creek Fire (FM-5455, September 10, 2022), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4539, April 23, 2020) and Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, Mudslides (DR-4309, April 21, 2017).
Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 2 county-based event records for King County; flood events account for 2 of them. NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $474,000, from a flood in January 2021. After a flood the pad matters as much as the unit: a rental kitchen needs firm, well-drained ground and a clear route in.
Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 2 large wildfires beginning in King County, about 16,739 acres in all. Bolt Creek (2022, 14,821 acres) was the largest. Fire weather means planned power cuts as well as fires, and a walk-in cooler does not keep product cold through a long shutoff.
FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.
Major construction near Medina
Since October 2021, 100 or more federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named King County as the place of work. USASpending.gov shows a $337 million Department of Defense contract, “Howard A. Hanson Dam Additional Water Storage Project (Awsp) Fish Passage Facility (FPF) Idac,” starting October 2024 in King County (award record). The Department of Homeland Security committed $174 million to “Acceptance of Contractor Proposal for Base Seattle Cercla/Psc Homeport Phase 1b Project” in King County, awarded September 2026 (award record). Another public record is “Construction of Mud Mountain Dam Fish Passage Facility in Buckley, WA,” a $153 million Department of Defense contract from March 2018 in King County (award record). In October 2024, the Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a $79 million contract for “Construction of Tahoma National Cemetery Phase 3 Development” in King County, with work running to June 2027 (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 project in Yarrow Point, about 1,134 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.
Rebuilds and remodels around Medina
No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for King County. The nearest is in Snohomish County, about 39 miles away. In November 2023, the Department of Defense awarded a $7.8 million contract for “Replace Harlow Fars- Nse” in Snohomish County, with work running to January 2026 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $4.4 million Department of Defense contract, “X003 Repair Electric Distribution Service SW-6, Everett,” starting January 2023 in Snohomish County (award record). Renovations like this are the usual reason an institution leases a mobile kitchen, because the permanent one cannot run while the work is under way. A remodel in Mercer Island would start from the same closure date and the same temporary-kitchen question.
Emergency equipment access around Medina
The Washington Emergency Management Division (EMD) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in Washington. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. Staging and access details differ again in Bellevue, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
Overlake Hospital Medical Center & Clinics is the nearest hospital CMS lists, in Bellevue, about 4 miles from Medina in a straight line.
Pricing a mobile kitchen for Medina

Prepare your Medina site before delivery
The checklist does not change for Newcastle or Kenmore, but the pad, the power and the permit usually do.
- Water: arrange a potable water supply and a hookup point within reach of the trailer.
- Electrical: confirm the service matches the model, for example 220V single phase at 200 to 220A for the 40ft kitchens.
- Timing: share your start date and rental period so the quote reflects the real schedule.
Read the site planning section before you fix a delivery date.

Does a temporary kitchen in Medina need a health permit?
