The PSBA owns and maintains 3 block party trailers that can be reserved and used for outreach purposes by PSBA churches and ministries.

Equipment includes the following (please click on the inflatables to see specific details):

Seattle (North Zone): portable sound system, generator, obstacle course and blower, bounce house and blower, popcorn machine and snow cone machine;

Issaquah (Central Zone): portable sound system, generator, obstacle course and blower, bounce house and blower, popcorn machine and snow cone machine;

Federal Way (South Zone): portable sound system, generator, obstacle course and blower, bounce house and blower, popcorn machine and snow cone machine.

NOTE: Each generator can only run two blowers at a time; each inflatable requires two blowers to operate, so if you are planning to use the generator, please know it can only support one inflatable (either bouncy house or obstacle course/giant slide)

To watch videos on how to setup, anchor, and tear-down the inflatables, please go to our Inflatables Resources page.

Each Block Party Trailer has a rental fee attached. Our fees, per trailer, are as follows:

• A one day rental is $150.
  
• Each additional day beyond the first is $50/day.
  
• If renting for six or seven days, the fee is $400.
  
• Each day after the seventh is an additional $50/day.
  

In addition to the rental fee, each renter is required to have a security deposit deposited with the PSBA in order to rent trailers. The security deposit fee is $300. The security deposit is returned at the end of the rental season (Sept 2nd) or after your last rental of the year, whichever is later. Alternatively, if you are a regular renter and would prefer to simplify your annual rental process, the PSBA can hold on to your security deposit until you request it.

** If you plan to use the trailers on City of Seattle property, such as parks or on streets, you will need a minimum of $2,000,000 coverage. If you are using the trailers on private property in Seattle, you only need the $1,000,000 coverage.

All requests for Block Party Trailers must be made at least 16 days prior to the dates of intended use. We cannot make any exceptions.

Payment/paperwork must be received before 10 business days of the reservation date for your reservation to be upheld. If we do not have a complete reservation file before those 10 business days, your requested date will be released. If an exception needs to be made, please contact the PSBA office directly.

The trailers all contain popcorn and snow cone machines. If you plan to use them, they need to be operated by a licensed food handler. If you need to get a food handler's license, please go to the Washington State Department of Health website.

The Block Party ministry does not provide delivery or truck rental services. The renting church is responsible for picking up and dropping off the trailer with their own vehicle.

No contract exists until a confirmation letter has been sent to you! Sending a rental request is only an inquiry into the availability of trailers! Sending such a request DOES NOT guarantee your usage of a block party trailer!
