Tenino is a small city located in Thurston County, in the U.S. state of Washington. It is currently home to a population of over 1,700 total residents, and is a part of the Olympia, Washington Metropolitan Statistical Area, one of the largest metro areas in the entire state. Founded in the mid-19th century, Tenino was (and continues to be) mostly a small rural town. It was incorporated in 1906 and for many years was the home of a rail depot known as “T-9-O” (how the city is pronounced phonetically). Tenino is perhaps most famous for its “wooden money” – dollars printed on wood instead of paper during the Great Depression due to the scarcity of materials. These wooden dollars are a collector’s item today.

Car Shipping to Tenino Tips and Tricks
As small as it is Tenino sits at the junction of several state highways that connect Olympia and the rest of the peninsula to other major cities like Seattle, Tacoma, Vancouver and more. Carriers want to run routes into and out of major cities and metropolitan areas because that’s where the majority of their customers are. It’s easy to get into and out of densely populated areas, which makes it harder to find car shipping to Tenino. The city itself is small and doesn’t see a lot of transportation traffic, which can make prices more expensive. You may be able to move your pickup or delivery location to Olympia instead of trying to ind car shipping to Tenino, but you’ll want to talk to an agent to learn more.
