THE PLACE RECORD · THE WORKING ADDRESS
Locate the property before selecting a shower rental.
Raft Island is a Census-designated community in the 2026 Washington Census Places Gazetteer. The record lists 0.277 square miles of land and 0.038 square miles of water. Its Census internal point is at 47.32822 latitude, -122.66731 longitude. That reference point places it in Pierce; a boundary property still needs its actual jurisdiction confirmed. Gig Harbor is 3.3 miles east of the point, providing a nearby incorporated-place comparison for your rental brief.
The Washington directory contains 639 place guides. The Pierce internal-point group has 72 records: 21 incorporated places and 51 Census communities. Use the locality matching the occupied property; a guide for Ruston helps compare nearby geography but does not establish the address where rented facilities will stand.

Five planning questions for Raft Island.
01When the usual showers stop working
The closest incorporated reference point is 3.3 miles away. When the working address uses a nearby mailing name, give both the place and usable entrance so the inquiry concerns the right property. A small point-to-point distance does not establish shared utilities or a common delivery approach. Compare the nearby Gig Harbor guide if the property uses that locality name. An emergency shower request should state the bathing and toilet functions still usable, affected commercial users and the first period people need to wash. Call 24/7 with those details to discuss a configuration and feasible timing.
02When a crew base takes shape
Raft Island's recorded land area is under one square mile. That describes the locality, not a placement plot: identify the usable space around the shower doors, changing area and service connection at the actual property. For a construction shower lease, show whether crews return to one base or use different addresses. A comparison with University Place can distinguish the working locality, but each property needs its own occupied roster, cleaning interval and service approach. Mark future changes to fencing or the crew position before assuming the trailer can remain in place through every work phase.
03Before a washroom renovation
Before a Raft Island building closes its bathing rooms, trace the temporary walking route from the occupied area. Include privacy, changing space and the cleaning handover beside the selected shower or shower/restroom layout. Keep the first required shower date distinct from demolition and repair milestones. For a property identified with nearby Fircrest, use that guide and give the full working address. Ask for the proposed unit’s entrances, shower compartments, changing space and any required accessibility features before the building team prepares the temporary connections.
04At the delivery and service entrance
Review WSDOT real-time travel map for public-road information relevant to the actual approach. A comparison with Tacoma uses Census points, not a chosen road or truck route. Give gate photographs, the internal surface, changes of level and water, power and wastewater positions. Keep entry usable for cleaning, replenishment, waste visits and final collection; a public travel map does not approve private-property access.
05The price for this address and rental period
Quote a Raft Island bathing assignment from the actual unit and occupied period. Ask how a one-week rental, monthly arrangement or extension is billed before treating a reference schedule as the project's final price. A property using the nearby Ruston locality needs its own scope; shared geography does not establish identical transport or service costs. Include delivery, setup, collection, cleaning, water, wastewater handling, taxes, deposits, minimum terms and exclusions. No local surcharge, daily conversion or distance formula is inferred. Review published unit-price references, then confirm their applicability and the exact local scope in writing.
