        The Statement on Schedule 13D dated February 22, 2000 (the "Schedule
13D") filed by Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI"), relating to the Class A Common
Stock, $0.001 par value (the "Shares"), of Shurgard Storage Centers, Inc. (the
"Issuer"), is amended by this Amendment No. 1 as set forth below. Defined terms
that are not defined herein have the meanings assigned to those terms in the
Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
- ------------------------------

        Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented by adding the following:

        In mid-April 2000, representatives of PSI met with representatives of
Issuer in Seattle, Washington to discuss the acquisition of Issuer by PSI based
on the value of Issuer's assets plus a premium above the asset value to be
negotiated by the parties. Issuer's representatives did not inquire as to the
size of this premium or demonstrate any interest in negotiating a satisfactory
premium or any other aspect of a possible transaction. Following the mid-April
2000 meeting there were no further discussions relating to a possible
acquisition until, in late April 2000, a representative of Issuer telephoned a
representative of PSI to inform him that Issuer's board of directors had no
interest in selling.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
- --------------------------------------------

        Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented as follows:

        (a) As of May 1, 2000, PSI owned 1,805,875 Shares, which constituted
approximately 6.2% of the total number of Shares outstanding.

        (b) PSI has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of all
of the 1,805,875 Shares owned by it.

        (c) During the 60-day period ending on May 1, 2000, PSI purchased or
sold the number of Shares in the transactions, on the transaction dates and at
the prices per Share (not including commissions) set forth below:


                      No. of Shares      No. of          Price        Type of

5-01-2000                                   9,500       25.9375     Open Market


        To the best of PSI's knowledge, except as disclosed herein, PSI does not
have beneficial ownership of any Shares as of May 1, 2000 and has not engaged in
any transaction in any Shares during the 60-day period ending May 1, 2000.

        (d) Except as disclosed herein, no other person is known to PSI to have
the right to receive or the power to direct receipt of distributions from, or
