Island load-outs
Avalon moves are planned like freight, so loads are sized to the barge calendar and every carry is measured before the first box moves. The 3,460 residents get stairs counted into the rate, furniture wrapped in pads, and an hourly meter that stops when the last piece is placed.
Incorporated June 26, 1913, the town covers 2.89 square miles at 30 feet on Catalina Island, where lanes are narrow and drives are short. Move dates are booked around crossings, so the hour is priced up front and the schedule holds whether or not a crossing slips.
