THE  OFFER, PRORATION PERIOD AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 6:00 P.M., NEW
YORK CITY TIME, ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1996, UNLESS EXTENDED.
                            ------------------------
 
    SHURGARD STORAGE CENTERS, INC. (THE "PURCHASER") IS OFFERING TO PURCHASE  UP
TO  49,000 UNITS OF  LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST  (THE "UNITS") IN IDS/SHURGARD
INCOME GROWTH PARTNERS L.P. II (THE "PARTNERSHIP") AT A NET CASH PRICE PER  UNIT
OF $222 (THE "OFFER PRICE"). THIS OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED UPON A MINIMUM NUMBER
OF  UNITS  BEING  VALIDLY TENDERED,  BUT  IT  IS SUBJECT  TO  CERTAIN  TERMS AND
CONDITIONS DESCRIBED  IN  THE  OFFER  TO  PURCHASE  (AS  DEFINED  HEREIN)  BEING
SUPPLEMENTED BY THIS SUPPLEMENT. IF MORE THAN 49,000 UNITS (APPROXIMATELY 43% OF
THE  OUTSTANDING UNITS)  ARE VALIDLY  TENDERED, THE  PURCHASER WILL  ACCEPT ONLY
49,000 UNITS AND WILL  PURCHASE UNITS FROM TENDERING  UNITHOLDERS ON A PRO  RATA
BASIS AS DESCRIBED IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE.
 
    Following  the completion of  the purchase of Units  pursuant to this Offer,
the remaining Unitholders will be notified  of a special meeting of  Unitholders
(the  "Special Meeting") to  be held to  consider and vote  upon approval of the
merger of the  Partnership with and  into the Purchaser  (the "Merger"). If  the
Merger  is approved by the  requisite vote of the  Unitholders and certain other
conditions to the Merger are satisfied or waived, (i) the Partnership will merge
into the Purchaser and cease to exist  as a separate legal entity and (ii)  each
Unit,  other than Units held by the Purchaser (including Units purchased in this
Offer), which will  be cancelled,  and Units, if  any, held  by Unitholders  who
perfect  dissenters' rights, will be converted into the right to receive between
8.00 and 9.98 shares of Class A  Common Stock of the Purchaser ("REIT  Shares"),
depending  upon the  average closing price  of the  REIT Shares on  the New York
Stock Exchange during a designated period prior to the Special Meeting. All REIT
Shares will be aggregated for each Unitholder and cash will be issued in lieu of
any fractional REIT Shares. If the  average closing price used to determine  the
number of REIT Shares issuable in the Merger is less than $21.50 per REIT Share,
the  Purchaser may provide  additional cash consideration.  See "The Acquisition
Agreement."
 
    In evaluating the matters described herein, Unitholders should consider  the
following, among other factors:
 
    - The general partner of the Partnership, the Purchaser and their affiliates
      have  significant conflicts of interest in  connection with this Offer and
      the  Merger,  and  no  unaffiliated  representatives  were  appointed   to
      negotiate  the  terms  of this  Offer  and  the Merger  on  behalf  of the
      Partnership. The conflicts of interest arise, among other things, from the
      fact that certain representatives of the general partner are also officers
      of the Purchaser. See "Special Considerations."
 
    - As a result of this Offer, the  Purchaser may hold the largest, or one  of
      the  largest, equity positions in the Partnership, and therefore may be in
      a position to influence  the policies and affairs  of the Partnership  and
      the vote on approval of the Merger. See "Special Considerations."
 
    - If  the average  price of  REIT Shares for  the designated  period used to
      determine the number of  REIT Shares issuable in  the Merger is less  than
      $22.25  per share or  if the market  price of REIT  Shares decreases after
      determination of the number of REIT Shares to be issued in the Merger  and
      prior  to the issuance of REIT Shares, the market value of the REIT Shares
      received in the  Merger may be  lower than the  Offer Price. See  "Special
      Considerations."
 
                                                        (CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE)
 
                            ------------------------
 
    THIS  TRANSACTION HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "COMMISSION")  NOR HAS THE  COMMISSION PASSED UPON  THE
FAIRNESS  OR MERITS OF THIS TRANSACTION OR  UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS  DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION  TO THE CONTRARY  IS
UNLAWFUL.

(CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE)
 
    -The  Merger, if consummated, may affect  the level of distributions made to
     Unitholders who become  stockholders of the  Purchaser, with the  potential
     that,  depending upon the number of REIT  Shares issued in the Merger, some
     Unitholders may  receive following  the Merger  smaller distributions  than
     they  would have received if  the Merger had not  been consummated and they
     had remained Unitholders. See "Fairness of the Transaction; Position of the
     General Partner."
 
    -Certain valuations  of  the  Partnerships  (as  defined  in  the  Offer  to
     Purchase)  performed by Alex. Brown  were above the aggregate consideration
     to be  issued  in the  Transaction  and Additional  Transactions  (each  as
     defined   in  the  Offer  to  Purchase)   while  other  valuations  of  the
     Partnerships  that  Alex.   Brown  performed  were   below  the   aggregate
     consideration  to be issued in the Transaction and Additional Transactions.
     In particular, the valuation of  the Partnerships Alex. Brown performed  in
     its  analysis of publicly-traded REITs resulted  in a higher valuation than
     the  consideration  to  be  issued   in  the  Transaction  and   Additional
     Transactions  whereas the valuation of the Partnerships it performed in its
     analysis of selected real estate acquisitions resulted in a lower valuation
     than the  consideration to  be  issued in  the Transaction  and  Additional
     Transactions.  See "Appraisal; Opinions of Financial Advisors -- Opinion of
     the Purchaser's Financial Advisor."
 
    THE GENERAL PARTNER OF THE PARTNERSHIP  IS SHURGARD ASSOCIATES L.P. II  (THE
"GENERAL  PARTNER"). THE GENERAL PARTNER HAS  APPROVED THIS OFFER AND THE MERGER
AND HAS DETERMINED THAT THE TERMS OF THIS  OFFER AND THE MERGER ARE FAIR TO  THE
UNITHOLDERS.  THE GENERAL PARTNER  RECOMMENDS THAT THOSE  UNITHOLDERS WHO DESIRE
IMMEDIATE LIQUIDITY TENDER THEIR UNITS PURSUANT TO THIS OFFER AND THAT ALL OTHER
UNITHOLDERS RETAIN THEIR UNITS  AND, INSTEAD, PARTICIPATE  IN THE MERGER.  THERE
CAN BE NO ASSURANCE, HOWEVER, THAT THE MERGER WILL BE CONSUMMATED.

                                   IMPORTANT
 
    Any  Unitholder desiring to  tender all or  any portion of  his or her Units

required  documents to the Depositary at the address set forth on the back cover
of this  Supplement.  Unitholders  who  have  validly  tendered  Units  and  not
withdrawn  their tenders  need take  no further  action to  validly tender those
Units.
 
    Questions and requests for assistance or  additional copies of the Offer  to
Purchase,  the Letter of Transmittal and this  Supplement may be directed to the

                                  INTRODUCTION
 
    The Purchaser hereby amends and supplements the Offer to Purchase dated July
2, 1996, as supplemented by the Purchaser's letter to Unitholders dated July 16,
1996  and the Supplement to Offer to  Purchase dated August 26, 1996 (the "Offer
to Purchase"). Except as set forth in this Supplement, the Offer continues to be
governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and  the
related  Letter of Transmittal, and  the information contained therein continues
to be  important  to each  Unitholder's  decision  with respect  to  the  Offer.
Accordingly,  this Supplement should  be carefully read  in conjunction with the
Offer to  Purchase  and the  related  Letter  of Transmittal,  which  have  been
previously  mailed to Unitholders. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the
meanings set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
 
    Procedures for tendering Units  are set forth in  the section entitled  "The
Offer"  of the Offer  to Purchase. Tendering Unitholders  should continue to use
the Letter of Transmittal  circulated with the Offer  to Purchase. By  tendering
Units, Unitholders assign to the Purchaser all rights to cash distributions made
subsequent to July 2, 1996 with respect to those Units.
 
    UNITHOLDERS  WHO HAVE VALIDLY TENDERED UNITS AND NOT WITHDRAWN THEIR TENDERS
NEED TAKE NO FURTHER ACTION TO VALIDLY TENDER THOSE UNITS.
 
          FAIRNESS OF THE TRANSACTION; POSITION OF THE GENERAL PARTNER
 
    THE SECTION OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE ENTITLED "FAIRNESS OF THE  TRANSACTION;
POSITION  OF THE GENERAL PARTNER" IS HEREBY SUPPLEMENTED BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING
SECTION IMMEDIATELY AFTER "--FAIRNESS IN VIEW OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST":
 
    FAIRNESS IN  VIEW OF  PS AGREEMENT.   Pursuant  to the  confidentiality  and
standstill  agreement dated March 25, 1996 between the Purchaser and PS (the "PS
Agreement"), PS  is  prohibited  from  acquiring  (through  a  tender  offer  or
otherwise)  any interest in the Purchaser  or any of the Purchaser's affiliates,
including the Partnership,  for a period  of two years  without the  Purchaser's
consent.  See  "Background and  Purposes of  the Transaction--Background  of the
Transaction." If the PS Agreement did not prohibit PS from acquiring an interest
in the Partnership, it is possible that PS might have made an offer to  purchase
the  Units at a price higher or lower than the Offer Price, although neither the
General Partner nor the  Purchaser, at the time  the PS Agreement was  executed,
had  any knowledge of any plan  or intention by PS to  make an offer to purchase
the Units in the absence of the PS Agreement. The General Partner believes  that
the   Offer  Price  and  the  Merger   Consideration  are  fair  to  Unitholders
notwithstanding the PS Agreement. The  General Partner has based its  conclusion
regarding  the fairness of the Transaction to Unitholders on its analysis of the
factors discussed in this "Fairness of the Transaction; Position of the  General
Partner"  section. The General Partner believes  that the analysis was performed
in a good faith exercise  of its fiduciary duty and  was not affected by the  PS
Agreement.
 
    EXCEPT   AS  SUPPLEMENTED  HEREBY,  ALL   PROVISIONS  OF  THE  OFFER  REMAIN
UNAFFECTED.

     The Offers are being made pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement, dated as of
July 1, 1996, between Shurgard and IDS1, IDS2 and IDS3 (the "Partnerships").
The Acquisition Agreement provides that, after completion of the Offers and
subject to the approval of the requisite vote of unitholders of each
Partnership, the Partnerships will be merged with and into Shurgard.  If the
Merger is consummated, unitholders of the Partnerships who participate in the
Merger will receive shares of Shurgard Class A Common Stock in exchange for
their limited partnership units.  The General Partners of each of the
Partnerships have recommended that those unitholders who desire immediate
liquidity tender their units in the Offers and that all other unitholders retain
their units and, instead, participate in the Merger.
