                   Shurgard Storage Centers, Inc.
     Part I, Item 1:  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                   Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
                             (unaudited)
                                  
Note A _ Basis of Presentation
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
  Company, SSC Property Holdings, Inc., SSC Acquisitions, Inc.,
  Shurgard Evergreen Limited Partnership, Shurgard Institutional
  Partners, and Capitol Hill Partners.  SSC Property Holdings, Inc.
  was established as a wholly-owned subsidiary to hold all storage
  centers which secure certain notes.  SSC Acquisitions, Inc. was
  established as a wholly owned subsidiary to hold all storage
  centers which secure a line of credit.  Shurgard Evergreen
  Limited Partnership is wholly owned directly and indirectly
  through a subsidiary.  Shurgard Evergreen Limited Partnership
  owns a 59.5% interest in Shurgard Institutional Partners.  The
  Company holds a 90% ownership interest in Capitol Hill Partners.
  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
  upon consolidation.  Prior to March 1, 1994, the Company was
  inactive.
  
  The consolidated financial statements included in this report are
  unaudited.  In the opinion on the Company, all adjustments
  necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements
  have been included and such adjustments consisted only of normal
  recurring items.  The interim financial statements should be read
  in conjunction with the 1994 Annual Report.  Interim results are
  not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
  
  The combined financial statements presented herein for the period
  from January 1, 1994 to March 1, 1994 represent the Predecessor's
  combined results of operations and cash flows prior to the March
  1, 1994.  Since the purchase method of accounting was used to
  record assets acquired and certain limited partners elected to
  receive cash rather than Company stock, the Predecessor financial
  statements are not comparable in all material respects with
  financial statements subsequent to the Acquisition Date.  The
  most significant differences relate to the Partnerships' higher
  historical cost of storage centers and the related depreciation
  and the Company's higher debt and related interest expense in
  periods after the Acquisition Date.
  
  Weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months
  ended June 30, 1995 were 19,140,701 and 18,117,241, respectively
  and for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1994 were
  16,983,887.
  

Note B  Merger
  In December 1994, the Board of Directors executed a Merger
  Agreement with Shurgard Incorporated (the Management Company) in
  order to become self-administered and self-advised.  At a special
  meeting on March 21, 1995, the shareholders voted to approve the
  Merger with  the Management Company.  On March 24, 1995, the
  Company issued 1,266,705 new shares of Class A common stock to
  the shareholders of the Management Company, subject to certain
  adjustments and an audit of the Management Company's final
  statement of assets, liabilities and stockholder's equity.  In
  addition, 282,572 shares previously owned by the Management
  Company were reissued to Management Company shareholders.  The
  Management Company shareholders may receive additional shares
  over the next five years as consideration for certain partnership
  interests held by the Management Company which were not valued at
  the time of the Merger.  A summary of the assets and liabilities
  assumed in this transaction are as follows (amounts in
  thousands):

      Storage centers                          $ 8,058
      Cash                                         780

                                               $28,884
  
  During the second quarter, SSC Evergreen, Inc., a wholly owned
  subsidiary of the Company, purchased the limited partnership
  interest in a partnership (the Evergreen Partnership) which owns
  seven storage centers and a 59.5% interest in a joint venture
  owning three additional storage centers.  The Company paid $35.5
  million in exchange for the 99% limited partnership interest.
  The Company previously owned the 1% general partnership interest
  which was acquired in the Merger.
  
  The  following unaudited pro forma statements of income  represent
  the  results of operations of the Company for the six months ended
  June  30,  1994 and as if all properties owned by the  Company  at
  June  30, 1995 had been acquired on January 1, 1994 and the merger
  of  the  Management  Company  and  the  acquisition  of  Evergreen
  Partnership  had  been consummated on January 1,  1994.   The  pro
  forma results do not necessarily indicate the actual results  that
  would  have been obtained, nor are they necessarily indicative  of
  the future operations of the combined companies.

Note C _ Lines of Credit
  During 1995, the Company borrowed an additional $54.1 million on
  its lines of credit.  Proceeds were used to repay the $4.3
  million line of credit assumed in the Merger as well as fund the
  acquisition of the Evergreen Partnership and four storage
  centers.  Proceeds were also used to fund purchase of several
  parcels of undeveloped land and the initial construction costs at
  these development sites.  All outstanding balances on the lines
  of credit were repaid in June with the proceeds from the offering
  of Company shares.
  

Note D _ Shareholder's Equity
  On June 13, 1995 the Company issued an additional 4.5 million
  Class A Common shares at $23.00 per share, providing net proceeds
  after offering costs of $96.9 million.  On July 11, 1995, the
  Company's underwriters exercised their over allotment option and
  the Company issued an additional 420,000 shares.  These
  additional shares provided approximately $9 million in net
  proceeds which will be used to fund storage center development
  and acquisitions and general corporate purposes.


Part I, Item 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

The Company has entered into a number of important transactions
during 1995 that further establish the structural and financial
means of executing its 1995 growth plan.  The following discussion
summarizes the recent developments pertaining to the Company.

Merger of the Management Company  -  In order to create a fully
integrated company and more closely align the interests of
management with the shareholders, the Management Company merged with
the Company on March 24, 1995.  Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan
of Merger, the outstanding shares of the Management Company common
stock were converted into an aggregate of 1,266,705 newly issued
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (Common Stock) and an
additional 282,572 shares that replaced the Common Stock previously
owned by the Management Company, subject to certain adjustments.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Management Company shareholders
are also entitled to receive additional shares of Common Stock in
the future based on (i) the extent to which, during the five years
following the Merger, the Company realizes value as a result of
certain transactions relating to interests in or assets of six
limited partnerships acquired by the Company in the Merger and (ii)
the value, at the end of five years after the Merger, or in the
event of a change of control of the Company, of any remaining
interests in such partnerships as determined by independent
appraisal.

Listing of Common Stock on the NYSE  -  The Common Stock was
authorized for listing on the NYSE under the symbol "SHU" on April
27, 1995, and commenced trading on the NYSE on May 5, 1995.  From
March 28, 1994 through May 4, 1995, the Common Stock traded on the
Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "SHUR."

Acquisition of Evergreen Properties  -  In May 1995, SSC Evergreen,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased the
limited partner interest in Shurgard Evergreen Limited Partnership
(the Evergreen Partnership), an entity formed in May 1990 to develop
and own self storage centers, of which the Company is the general
partner.  The limited partner interest was owned by a wholly owned
subsidiary of the State Investment Board of the State of Washington.
The Evergreen Partnership developed and owns seven self storage
centers directly and, through a joint venture, owns an interest in
an additional three centers.  Three of the centers are located in
the Atlanta, Georgia area, three are located in the Portland, Oregon
area, and one each is located near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
Phoenix, Arizona, San Antonio, Texas and Seattle, Washington.  At
the time of acquisition, the centers, having an aggregate of 631,000
net rentable square feet, had a weighted average occupancy rate of
81%, based on net rentable square footage.  The purchase price for
the limited partner interest in Evergreen Partnership was $35.5
million which was financed through the Company's line of credit.

Additional Developments and Acquisitions  -  In 1995, the Company
has continued to selectively acquire development parcels and self
storage centers in its target markets.  Seven developments,
including joint ventures, are currently under construction in the
United States which will contain an aggregate of approximately
445,000 net rentable square feet of storage space. Land has been
purchased for two additional centers and construction is expected to
begin this summer.  The Company has also acquired existing self
storage properties in Taylor, Michigan (March 1995), Orland Park,
Illinois (May 1995), Puyallup, Washington (May 1995) and Madison
Heights, Michigan (June 1995) with a total of approximately 173,000
net rentable square feet of storage space. In the first six months
of 1995, the Company invested $4.7 million in its Benelux subsidiary
which owns one operating storage center and has commenced
construction on two additional centers in the Brussels metropolitan
area. The three Belgian facilities are expected to have aggregate
net rentable square footage of 169,000.

Public Stock Offering  - On June 13, 1995 the Company issued an
additional 4.5 million Class A Common shares at $23.00 per share,
providing net proceeds after offering costs of $96.9 million.  On
July 11, 1995, the Company's underwriters exercised their over
allotment option and the Company issued an additional 420,000
shares.  These additional shares provided approximately $9 million
in net proceeds which will be used to fund storage center
development and acquisitions and general corporate purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During 1995, the Company invested $26.5 million in storage centers.
In addition to the $8 million storage center acquired in the Merger,
the Company invested approximately $10 million in acquisitions of
four operating storage centers, $6 million in development projects
and over $2 million in capital improvements to its existing
portfolio.  The $6.5 million increase in other real estate
investments reflects primarily the $4.7 million invested in the
Company's Benelux subsidiary and the $1.8 million invested in the
Tennessee joint ventures.  As described above, the Company also
invested $35.3 million in cash (net of partnership cash received) in
the purchase of the Evergreen partnership interest.

Cash balances declined from December 31, 1994 to June 30, 1995 as
operating cash flow and working capital were used to temporarily
fund acquisition and development needs.  Additional cash was
borrowed on the lines of credit as needed to meet remaining
acquisition and development requirements. The Company borrowed $7
million on March 31, 1995, under its line of credit to repay the
$4.3 million line of credit assumed in the Merger and finance the
acquisition and development activity described above.  All
outstanding balances on the Company's lines of credit were repaid on
June 13, 1995, leaving current capital available from lines of
credit at June 30, 1995 of $100 million. At June 30, 1995, the
Company's debt to total asset ratio was 23% and its debt to total
capitalization ratio was 20%.

The Company anticipates that cash flow from operating activities,
available lines of credit and the proceeds from its equity offering
will continue to provide adequate capital for planned expansion,
principal payments and dividend payments in accordance with REIT
requirements.  Cash provided by operating activities for the six
months of operations was $21 million.  The Company has declared the
following dividends during 1995:

     Quarter ended  Record Date       Pay Date     Per Share Amount
     -------------  -------------   -------------  ----------------
     Dec. 31, 1994  Feb. 10, 1995   Mar. 29, 1995        0.44
     Mar. 31, 1995  Mar. 22, 1995   May 19, 1995         0.46
     June 30, 1995  June 2, 1995    July 31, 1995        0.46

Results of Operations

The Company operates a professionally-managed real estate portfolio
consisting primarily of self service storage properties that provide
month-to-month leases for business and personal use.  Net income for
the quarter was $6.6 million, or $0.35 per share, reflecting three
months of consolidated operations for 160 storage centers and two
business parks, as well as a partial quarter of operations for an
additional thirteen centers acquired during the quarter (the fourth
acquisition occurred on June 30, 1995 so no operating results are
included).  The table below provides measures of geographic
diversity and property earnings as a percentage of historical cost.
Performance measures are annualized to allow comparisons between
periods.

                         ------
          Total            100%

The annualized property performance percentages are determined by
dividing the annualized property level net operating income (rental
revenue less direct property operating expenses and real estate
taxes) for the six months ended June 30, 1995 by the original
acquisition cost.  This new definition of NOI excludes management
fees which were incurred prior to the merger in order to be
comparable with the current presentation.  This performance is not
necessarily indicative of what the actual property performance
percentages for the full year will be.  Net operating income is not
reduced by depreciation, general and administrative expenses or
certain management level operating expenses and, had it been, the
percentages would be lower.  This performance measure should not be
construed as a yield or return of investment.

FFO is used by many financial analysts in evaluating REIT's. The
Company has historically defined FFO as net income before
extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization, plus or
minus certain non-recurring revenue and expenses. The Company has
modified our definition of FFO in accordance with the
recommendations of NAREIT (the REIT industry association) to exclude
amortization of financing costs.  Accordingly,  management now
calculates FFO as net income before extraordinary items, plus
depreciation and amortization relating to real estate activities,
plus or minus certain non-recurring revenue and expenses.

The following table reconciles our previous definition to the new
NAREIT definition (in thousands):

FFO for the second quarter of 1995 rose nearly $2 million over the
pro forma FFO for the second quarter of 1994.  This growth reflects
the improved performance of current properties as well as the
addition of properties acquired during the past year.  Future growth
rates will reflect the performance of developments, as well as
current properties and acquisitions.  Given the anticipated rent-up
time frame on development properties, it normally takes six to nine
months after opening a store to generate positive cash flow.
Additionally, it could take a year or longer to reach a return
consistent with the current portfolio.  During  this `rent-up'
period, management expects earnings and FFO per share will be
effected.  Management estimates that, at the current share level,
the effect on FFO, for  the first year of operations for an average
development, will be slightly above $0.01 per share, assuming that
it is financed with debt.  Although in the interim, total growth in
FFO will not reflect the full impact of expected increases in same
store operations and from acquisitions, management continues to
believe that development of storage centers will provide superior
long-term returns.

Net income for the second quarter of 1995 has increased 19.3% or
$1.1 million over net income before extraordinary item for the
second quarter of 1994.  This significant improvement reflects the
Company's merger with its advisor/property management company, the
acquisition of 34 storage, as well as strong growth in earnings for
the original portfolio.

Second quarter 1995 revenues rose 26% or $5 million compared to the
second quarter of 1994, including the addition of $1 million in
revenues from property management operations and a $3.7 million
increase in rental revenues.  Rising rental revenues reflect
approximately $1.5 million of revenues related to the 20 storage
centers acquired September 1, 1994, $1.1 million of revenues related
to properties added during this quarter, and an 8% increase in
average rental rates for the original portfolio of assets.  The
average rental rate on the Company's original portfolio of storge
centers rose from $8.13 for the second quarter of 1994 to $8.78 for
the second quarter of 1995.  Average occupancy levels declined
slightly to 87% for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 from 89% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1994.

Total expenses for the second quarter of 1995 rose 20.5% or $2.3
million over the second quarter of 1994, of which $773,000
represents increases in noncash depreciation and amortization
reflecting the Company's acquisitions and loan costs related to the
lines of credit.  An additional $784,000 of the increase reflects
the addition of the storage centers discussed above.  Due to its
merger with the management company, the Company no longer pays
management fees but instead recognizes the actual expenses of
management administration and real estate operations.  These
additional expenses are also offset by the revenues received for
services performed for outside parties.  General and administrative
expenses includes an additional $400,000 and operating expenses
includes $1.2 million related  to the addition of the management
company expenses.  These are offset by the $974,000 in revenue
generated from its external operations and the $1.1 million
elimination of management fees.
Interest expense rose $1.6 million for the second quarter of 1995
over the same quarter in 1994 due to higher debt balances.  During
the second quarter of 1994, the Company had no outstanding balances
on its lines of credit, while the outstanding balances for the
second quarter of 1995 reflect borrowings related to the acquisition
activity discussed above.


Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 compared to June Ended June 30, 1994
The following comparison of operating results discuss the Company's
actual first half 1995 results to the combined operating results of
the Predecessor from January 1, 1994 to March 1, 1994 and the
operating results of the Company from March 1, 1994 (the beginning
of operations) to June 30, 1994.

Rental revenues for the first six months rose 16.4% or $6.2 million
compared to the first half of 1994.  This reflects approximately
$2.9 million of revenues related to the 20 storage centers acquired
September 1, 1994, $1.1 million of revenues related to properties
added during this quarter, as well as rental rate increases for the
original portfolio of assets.

Total expenses for the first six months of 1995 rose 14.5% over the
first half of 1994, while income from operations rose 31% for the
same period.  This increase reflects the addition of acquisitions
made during the last year as well as the merger with the property
management company discussed above.
