The end of an era in White Center; Center Tool Rental's long goodbye

After 50 years at the helm of Center Tool Rental in White Center, Doug Stevens is saying a bittersweet goodbye. The 65-year-old closed the family business back in December, and now he's focusing on selling off the last of his inventory - a task that's proving both challenging and nostalgic.

Doug's roots in the rental business run deep. As a young boy, he would help his father Jack, who co-owned one of the only two rental shops in Seattle at the time. Even at just 2 or 3 years old, Doug was learning the ropes, like how to operate a forklift to change a lightbulb. "That's the rental store business and it started with my father," Doug reminisces.
