DOT gravel storage for snow and ice storms.

Road sand storage, keep it dry so it flows and scatters out of sanding truck. Will be a loader delivered when needed. They are scattered strategically around county

When I first noticed these I figured the shed roof was to keep the sand dry and then started imagining the first time they tried scooping some up during a big freeze in the days before they had sheds. Go out there to find their wet sand has frozen like a rock.

It’s gravel storage.

Washington state department of transportation uses these structures to store material that they put on road surfaces during snow storms.

It's a shed with gravel in it.

Is it your property? If not, leave it alone and keep walking.

Came to answer “nunya” Same vibe

That's a washington state department of transportation yard. Maltby right?

Another Maltby resident on here! Snohomish county parcel maps places the hwy and this little parking lot together, so most likely it is a staging area for Wsdot for trucks, materials, equipment, etc.

Literally came to say this. If it’s not your property then mind your own business

The gravel is to fill in the mass graves at the nearby FEMA camps.

I’m so disappointed in Reddit right now giving a sincere and truthful answer.

yeah its in maltby

Sheds have been around for at least hundreds of years.

Thousands, even. I think humans first discovered roofs sometime in the Neanderthal days.

Maybe my delivery was off, but I was thinking when DOT first piled up sand and didn’t use a shed.

Tough crowd.

I was thinking hwy 9 right off of 2

It's an unused D.O.T. vehicle shed but homeless people where using it so the state uses "hostile architecture" and put a pile of gravel in it so they can't sleep comfortably or set up a tent inside of it.

Wow, so incorrect, it's funny

Yea the Dutch were the first ones to use those in the Netherlands.

No your delivery was on point, Reddit was lagging behind

It's not you, it's me.
