Pit and sidings, due west
Gravel pits and the Arlington rail yards
Smokey Point Pit, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 3.8 miles west of Arlington Heights, is the nearest aggregate site the agency lists for town. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls from a pit like that can be sold from wherever it parks between loads; give us the street address or the pit gate and a name to call on the day.
Two rail yards, ARLINGTON and ARLINGTON YARD, appear in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, each 3.3 miles west of town. If your tractor works the sidings out that way, a photo of the VIN plate and a current odometer reading are the two things to send first.
Southeast and northwest
Crushed stone and gravel beyond Granite Falls
Granite Falls Quarry lies 8.9 miles southeast of Arlington Heights, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration records it as a sand and gravel operation. Owners whose trucks run that stretch often keep them in a yard closer to the quarry than to home; we collect from either, so tell us which spot has room for a tow or a lowboy to pull in.
Farther out to the northwest, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Pacific Quarry at 16.1 miles and Beaver Lake Quarry at 17.2 miles, both crushed-stone quarries. Tri-axle dumps and belly-dump rigs on that run should come with their registration, any scale tickets or service records you kept, and photos taken in daylight from all four corners.
East to Jim Creek, south-west to base
Contract trucks near Jim Creek and the Marysville site
Jim Creek, a military installation, is 6.4 miles east of Arlington Heights according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, while that agency places a second, listed as Marysville WA, 7.9 miles to the south-west. Contract box trucks and flatbeds that serve sites like these are welcome; we only need to know where the truck sits off-base so the pickup driver can reach it without a gate pass.
If your truck is parked at a contractor yard near either installation, send the yard’s address and opening hours along with the title. A key left with the yard manager and a phone number for that person is usually all the access we need.
Tankers and stock trailers
Dairy farms and corn ground near town
The 2022 Census of Agriculture from USDA counts 1,418 farms across Snohomish County, with milk, cattle and corn listed as the top products. Around Arlington Heights that means milk tankers, livestock haulers, grain trucks and farm flatbeds, and we buy each of those from the farm where it is kept.
A truck that only moves at harvest or between barns may have lapsed tabs; that does not stop a sale. Bring out the title, note the last date it was licensed, and photograph the cab, the body or tank, and the tires so we see the whole rig before we schedule the trip out to the farm.
West Avenue in Arlington
A licensing office on West Avenue
Lost titles in this state go through the Washington State Department of Licensing, which handles them at its vehicle and vessel licensing offices. The nearest to Arlington Heights is K.C.’S VEHICLE LICENSING at 430 N West Ave Ste 5, Arlington, 98223, about 3.2 miles from town by the Washington State Department of Licensing’s own office list.
Start the replacement before you contact us if the title is missing, and keep the receipt the licensing office gives you. If a lender is still shown on the title, have the lien release in hand too, so the transfer is clean when we arrive.
Department of Ecology status
Paused enforcement and the guidance now in force
The Washington Department of Ecology’s guidance shows enforcement of Advanced Clean Trucks, as adopted in the state’s Clean Vehicles Program, paused, and enforcement of the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus under WAC 173-423-081 paused as well.
That same Ecology publication marks its update to regulatory guidance for Advanced Clean Cars II, Advanced Clean Trucks and the Omnibus as in force. Neither paused rule stands in the way of selling a diesel tractor or straight truck you already own in Snohomish County.
