Stacey Tucker took over Chico Towing from her father, who took it over from his father, who began the company 75 years ago. Generational businesses are declining, and Tucker has decided it’s time for her to step away from hers. She's passing the keys of her tow trucks onto motivated younger owners who she says can carry on the same values of her business. The merger of Chico Towing with Kitsap Towing became official on Wednesday. Tucker said Kitsap Towing, owned by Jaci and Dave Bryant, is the only company she would sell to. The Bryants purchased Kitsap Towing from its original owners four years ago. “Anyone can learn how to tow a car but how you tr…

Question for WA folks, have you ever had a problem with state patrol when it comes to documenting accident scenes with photos or videos? I know many companies are now using drones and various other methods of documenting recoveries in order to clarify charges for insurance companies and trucking companies, but I've been told by some of my Washington providers that state patrol tells them they can't document the scene. Anybody have thoughts on this?
