?If you see it, we?d like it back:? White Center food truck business wants stolen trailer returned
Deputies are investigating after a food truck trailer was stolen from White Center early Thursday morning.
KING COUNTY, Wash. - Deputies are investigating after a food truck trailer was stolen from White Center early Thursday morning.
Investigators with the King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) say the theft happened in the 9800 block of 17th Ave. SW.
Nick Parisi knows a thing or two about food trucks and trailers. After all, he’s surrounded them every day.
"This is a very dynamic and multi-faceted business," he said Thursday from his work yard.
Parisi is the owner of Food Truck Northwest. The business helps design and build food trucks. He also consults and helps prospective food truck and trailer operators get state compliance.
"People always ask me what I do, and I say I’m a food truck specialist because I know the ins and outs," he said.
He said designing the inner kitchen area of a truck must be precise.
"It’s down to the pulgada," he said. "Everything is very close in a truck, so if you screw up an inch here or an inch there, it can throw off the whole truck."
On his lot, where every inch matters and whole trucks are designed, one recently completed project went missing.

"They just hitched it and took it off the lot," said Parisi.
