After a hot day on the beach in Oahu, there’s nothing like a cool Hawaiian shaved ice from the Holo Holo Snack Shack. The stand is owned by Melissa, who decided her business needed to be mobile to grow. But, can you use a tiny home for business?

Getting Started

Melissa had heard on the island that Seattle Tiny Homes offers the best quality tiny home trailers and would customize one to meet the unique needs of her portable snack shack business. Her specifications were exacting – she needed a trailer customized down to the quarter inch, both width and length!

After phone calls, emails, and texts, Melissa and Sharon from Seattle Tiny Homes worked out all the details. Melissa’s trailer was ordered with customized specifications. Upon delivery, the Seattle Tiny Homes crew installed the floor. We then shrink-wrapped the trailer to protect it in transit across the ocean. When everything was ready, we delivered it to a west coast port and the next week it arrived in Hawaii.

Melissa was delighted with her trailer and her contractor found it easy to build on the floor we had installed.  Her dream came true.  If you are ever on the island of Oahu, find her Holo Holo Snack Shack and let us know if it isn’t just the best shaved ice you’ve ever had.  We hear the Nuuana Lychee is delicious.

And thank you, Melissa, for all the referrals you’ve given us. It was our pleasure to play a small role in your success.

Last year we had a great time meeting folks at the Puyallup RV show, so we’re going again this year. We’ll be there May 2 – 5, 2013 at the Puyallup Fairgrounds.

We hope you stop by, chat for a while, and take the opportunity to tour our Ballard model. You’ll see firsthand how a tiny home is a great option for an aging family member, a vacation home, or even a full-time dwelling. It’s amazing what you can fit into 174 square feet of space!

This year, we’re pleased to offer financing for our homes through Washington State Employees Credit Union – making a tiny home more accessible than ever.

Here are the details about the show:

May 2 – 5, 2013
Thursday & Friday: 11am – 8pm
Saturday: 10am – 8pm
Sunday: 10am – 5pm

Seattle Tiny Homes is excited to announce our newest model: the Wallingford model.

With a design patterned after some of the gracious dwellings in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle, this home features beautiful dormer windows that extend nearly the entire length of the roof on both sides.

Why  Choose The Wallingford Model?

The result is a large loft area filled with natural light, creating an amazingly open and attractive space for sleeping, reading, or simply for storage.

Like every Seattle Tiny Home, the Wallingford is fully customizable to meet your specific needs. For example, you could have two separate lofts, giving you a vaulted ceiling above the great room. Or, you could have one large loft running the entire length of the home, giving you even more space upstairs.

Options also include a washer/dryer, shower or bathtub, full or partial kitchen, and your choice of colors, finishes, and amenities.

For customers needing even more space, we can craft the Wallingford as a 10-foot wide model. 10-foot wide models need a temporary $30 “wide load” permit to travel down the highways in Washington state.

Of course, the Wallingford features all the traits that have made Seattle Tiny Homes so popular: efficient use of space, beautiful craftsmanship, and quality construction. For more information about the Wallingford, contact Sharon Read at (425) 445-3675.
