Following retirement from the U.S. Coast Guard, Brian and Anne relocated to beautiful Kitsap County in the Pacific North West. Settling into their new community, they bought furniture and waited for it to be delivered. Like so many people, they dealt with lengthy delivery schedules, four and eight-hours delivery windows, and excessive delivery rates. A thought began to form that there must be a better way to get purchases home. Meanwhile, they continued to see people struggle to get furniture, televisions, and other purchases into their cars. A question was raised…what if there was a company that could economically deliver an item that a customer might have taken home themselves, if only it fit in their car? And with that, It Won't Fit was launched.
It Won’t Fit began operations in August 2003. The concept was to deliver the type of items that a customer might do themselves, but for one reason or another couldn't. Deliveries would be done quickly, at a convenient time, and for a reasonable price. To keep costs down, It Won’t Fit created a pricing plan that allowed for either a simple drop service, or placement in a specific room, and removal and disposal of the packaging. This allows a customer to control the cost while getting the exact service desired. From this initial idea, It Won’t Fit! has grown to deliver from stores to homes, business to business, and between private parties. In addition, we also remove unwanted, unused, or excess items. We dispose of, donate, or consign these items using local recycling, disposal, or charitable resources.
We're filling the need for an economical, customer-focused delivery and removal service that is locally owned and operated. Our goal is to provide a good service to our customers at a fair price, leaving them satisfied that they chose It Won’t Fit.

21 - Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday
This month the United Kingdom celebrates Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday - ‘shrove’ comes from the old word “shrive” meaning to confess. On this day people used to confess their sins so that they were forgiven before the Christian season of Lent began - a time of abstinence.
Pancakes are eaten to use up eggs, butter, and sugar before starting the Lenten fast. That led to this day being known as Pancake Day, and is celebrated by Pancake races - the object is to get to the finish line first while flipping a pancake in a frying pan, and the pancake must be intact at the end of the race.
According to tradition, in 1445 a woman heard the shriving bell ringing while she was making pancakes and ran to the church in her apron, still clutching her frying pan.
The day is also know as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, for the same reason.
Note: The British pancake is more like a crepe than a typical American pancake.
