Built In Oregon. Certified For Washington.
Washington State has some of the strictest requirements for mobile food units in the country, and for good reason. Your customers expect clean, safe, code-compliant operations. So does the WA Department of Labor & Industries.
That’s why every food trailer we build for Washington customers is engineered and inspected to WA L&I standards right here at our Portland manufacturing facility. You don’t navigate the compliance maze alone. You arrive in Washington with a trailer that’s already passed inspection and a full plan set ready to submit to your local health department.
We’ve been doing this for 25+ years. We know exactly what Washington inspectors look for, and we build accordingly.

Only Fresh Poke brings the flavors of Maui straight to the shoreline with a custom-built food trailer designed around one simple idea: serving fresh, high-quality poke made from locally sourced fish. Finished in a soft baby blue color inspired by the Hawaiian coastline, this trailer was built to support a menu focused on freshness, simplicity, and island tradition.
A custom aluminum mesh cooler enclosure was integrated into the front of the trailer, providing dedicated storage for the daily catch before it is prepared and served. Inside, the layout was designed for efficient food preparation, cold storage, and smooth customer service while meeting the demands of a busy island operation.
Located in the Lahaina area, Only Fresh Poke is focused on delivering authentic poke bowls made with fresh ocean-caught fish and quality ingredients that highlight the natural flavors of Hawaii. This build reflects the relaxed pace, coastal beauty, and commitment to freshness that make Maui such a special place to enjoy great food.
Built by Quality Food Trailers for a business dedicated to bringing a true taste of the islands to every customer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Quality Trailers build food trailers to Washington L&I standards?
Yes. Every food trailer we build for Washington customers is engineered and inspected to Washington State Labor & Industries (L&I) code at our Portland, OR manufacturing facility. You receive your trailer already L&I-compliant, eliminating a major hurdle before you even hit the road.
Do I need to be present in Oregon to order a custom food trailer for Washington?
Not at all. Our entire process, consultation, contract, design approvals, and payments, can be handled remotely. Many of our Washington customers never visit the facility until pickup day (or arrange third-party transport entirely).
How does the Washington health department approval process work?
Once your build begins and our in-house designer completes your plan set (typically 1–2 weeks after contract signing), you submit those plans to your local Washington health department for pre-approval. If the department has questions or requested changes, our team works directly with them to resolve everything before your trailer is completed.
What is the typical build time for a Washington-bound food trailer?
Standard builds run 2–3 months from your 50% down payment. More complex projects, such as pizza trailers, porch-style trailers, or specialty configurations, may require additional time. Your sales manager will give you an accurate timeline at the start of your project.
What are the payment terms for a Washington food trailer order?
We require 50% down to initiate the project, 40% upon final shop entry, and the remaining balance is due upon completion. Financing options are available through our third-party lending partners to help manage these milestones.
Can I get my food trailer delivered to Washington instead of picking it up?
All trailers are factory pick-up by default, but we’re happy to connect you with trusted third-party transportation companies for delivery to your Washington location. Many of our WA customers use this option successfully.
What water system comes standard in a Washington food trailer?
Every trailer includes an 80-gallon fresh water tank (installed inside under the cabinets) and a 135-gallon grey water tank mounted beneath the chassis. Our NSF-listed water pump is factory-set at 45 PSI and adjustable from 30–50 PSI to meet Washington operational standards.
Is financing available for Washington buyers ordering a custom food trailer?
Yes. We work with third-party financing partners who specialize in food trailer funding. Washington entrepreneurs can also work with local credit unions or any lender of their choice. Our team can connect you with financing contacts to help fast-track your preapproval.
Will I owe Oregon sales tax on my Washington food trailer purchase?
Oregon has no general sales or use tax, so your purchase at our Portland facility is not subject to Oregon sales tax. We recommend consulting your local Washington DMV or a tax professional regarding any Washington state use tax obligations on out-of-state purchases.
Can I supply my own commercial kitchen equipment for installation?
Yes. We install customer-supplied cooking and refrigeration equipment at $450 per piece. Electric cooking equipment installed under a hood (such as a refrigerated chef base) carries an additional $350 charge for a shunt-trip breaker. All cooking equipment installation includes gas lines, testing, and securing the unit.
