Meet the Founder

Swift Sands was founded by Washington native James McDonald, a trusted neighbor with the experience to back it up.
I grew up in Tukwila and moved to the Colorado Rockies to pursue a mountain lifestyle of snowboarding, biking, and hiking. While there, I started my career in the title insurance industry as a Licensed Title Officer for a title and escrow company based out of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. I later expanded my experience by working across the country, managing right-of-way acquisitions with landowners for pipelines, telecommunications, solar, and wind projects. My work took me as far as West Virginia before life brought me back home to Washington in 2025. Since returning, I have spent my time handling home improvement projects and driving for Instacart and DoorDash in Ocean Shores.
I am very familiar with Ocean Shores and returned here for family. While raising my two children as a single dad, I also stepped in as the primary caregiver for my father. This experience has changed my perspective. Watching someone I love struggle to navigate daily tasks that were once simple made me realize how vital a dependable, trusted hand is. This is what Swift Sands grew out of.
I built this business because I saw a genuine need in this community for service rooted in real trust, not just a transaction. Many of my neighbors face the same challenges my father does: maintaining independence, keeping up with home maintenance, and lacking nearby family support. I take that responsibility seriously and am honored to be in a position to help you.

When I’m not working, I’m part of this community in every way I can be. Every Friday night from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, I’m on KSOW 88.9 FM spinning classic tracks and cracking jokes. I organize the Full Moon Bike Cruises along the beach each summer. Play a little disc golf if I find the time. If you’ve seen someone out on the peninsula with a big smile and a radio voice, that’s probably me.
I’d be glad to meet you if we ever have the opportunity!
– James McDonald
Your Trash Cans Handled!
Rolling a heavy trash can down a driveway in the dark before 6:00 AM isn’t something anyone should have to do, sloped driveway or not.
Swift Sands takes that task completely off your hands, every single trash day.
What’s Included:
- Routine Service — On your scheduled LeMay pickup morning, we roll your trash and recycling containers to the curb and return them securely to their spot once they’ve been emptied. You won’t even notice we were there. No early alarm, no rain or ice, no worries.
- On-Demand Service — Visiting family out of town? Recovering from a procedure? One call and we’ll cover a single pickup curb roll so nothing gets missed while you’re away.
- Monthly Wash Add-On — At the end of each month, we pressure wash the interior and exterior of your containers, keeping them fresh, odor and critter-free so you never have to deal with that chore either.
- Wildlife Deterrent Treatment — After the monthly wash, we apply an eco-friendly, peppermint-based repellent to discourage raccoons and bears from getting into your bins between pickups.
Why Neighbors Count on Swift Sands For Can to Curb Service?
LeMay’s in Grays Harbor requires containers at the curb by 6:00 AM. In January, that means heading outside before sunrise in likely freezing rain, or on wet/icy pavement, dragging containers that can be surprisingly heavy when full. That’s a physical risk that may not be worth taking, leave it to Swift Sands.
Winds frequently tip over LeMay Trash Cans, scattering trash into the streets and ditches. We keep your lids latched and minimize how long your bins are exposed, so that’s one less thing to worry about, windy or not.
| Can to Curb Service | After Consultation – Prices Very |
| Weekly routine service | $35–$55/month |
| On-demand visit | $15–$20/visit |

Enjoy your dog and leave the rest to us.
Your dog brings you joy every day. Keeping up with waste removal, across an Ocean Shores yard, can be hard on your back, your knees, and your time.
Swift Sands handles it completely, on a schedule that works for you.
What’s Included:
- Thorough Yard Sweeps — We work in careful, grid-style passes across your entire property to locate and remove waste, including the spots hiding in thick grass.
- Respectful Property Care — We treat your home with the same care we’d want for our own. Gates are checked and latched after every visit. Equipment is sanitized between homes. We leave your yard exactly as we found it, just cleaner.
- Flexible Scheduling — Weekly, bi-weekly, or a one-time deep clean blitz. We work around your routine, not the other way around.
- Complete Haul-Away — Everything we collect leaves your property. Nothing left in your bins, nothing left behind.
Why Swift Sands Professional Pet Waste Removal Service?
Beach grass, gravel landscaping, and loose sand make thorough cleanup genuinely difficult. That’s exactly what we’re here for.
For family members managing properties from out of town, this service provides real peace of mind: Your loved one’s yard is clean, safe, and well maintained without anyone having to ask.

Your new furniture, fully assembled.
Ordering furniture online is one of life’s genuine conveniences, right up until the boxes
arrive and it’s time to build it.
Swift Sands takes over from there, handling everything from unboxing to final placement.
What’s Included:
- Careful Unboxing & Inspection — We unpack each item with care, protect your flooring throughout, and inspect all components for damage before assembly begins.
- Professional Assembly — We build your furniture using proper tools, to manufacturer specifications. Missing screw? If we can pick it up at the hardware store we will to get the job completed
- Complete Packaging Removal — New furniture arrives with a remarkable amount of cardboard, styrofoam, and plastic wrap. We remove and haul away 100% of it so you don’t have to figure out where it goes. I like what is below better, the transfer station bit.
- Final Placement — Once assembled, we place your furniture exactly where you want it, confirm it’s level and clean, and ready to use.
Why Neighbors Love Swift Sands White-Glove Furniture Assembly Service?
Furniture assembly often means working on the floor for extended periods. The kneeling, crouching, reaching, and how many parts and pieces? It’s physically demanding even when the instructions are clear, which they often aren’t. Where did this extra screw come from? There’s no reason to spend an afternoon doing something we can handle in a fraction of the time.
LeMay trash cans also have strict size limits, which makes disposal of large shipping boxes and styrofoam a real challenge. Our haul-away service solves that completely, with no trips to the dump.
Getting a vacation rental furnished? We can set up an entire property in a single visit.
| White-Glove Furniture Assembly Service | After Consultation – Prices Very |
| Small item (chair, nightstand) | $75–$100 |
| Medium (bed frame, dresser) | $100–$150 |
| Large (entertainment stand, garage shelfs, etc.) | $150–$250 |
| Vacation rental full setup | Quote on-site |

Your TV, your remotes, your streaming, all working the way you want.
Modern home entertainment should make life more enjoyable. Configuring a new TV or streaming device can be a headache: inputs, remotes, and settings that seem to reset themselves.
Swift Sands gets everything set up, tested, and offers documented, plain language, instructions so you always know exactly what to do.
What’s Included:
- Device Setup & Synchronization — We configure your Smart TV, sound system, streaming devices (Roku, Firestick, Apple TV), tablet, and phone to work together cleanly and reliably.
- Wi-Fi Connection & Optimization — Every device gets properly connected to your home network, with signal strength verified throughout your rooms.
- Custom Large Print Instruction Chart — We create a clear, step-by-step wall chart tailored specifically to your home electronics exact setup.
- Complete Input Mapping — How to turn on the TV, switch to the right input, open Netflix, connect a tablet, all of it written out, in order, for your wall or desk drawer.
Why Swift Sands Makes a Real Difference with Smart Home Setup & Instruction Charts Services?
The goal isn’t to teach you about technology, it’s to make your home work the way you want it to, and then make sure you never have to guess. Your instruction chart answers questions as a reference until you learn it by heart, whether that’s for you, a visiting grandchild, or a house guest.
For short-term rental owners, a framed instruction chart by the TV is one of the most practical things you can do for your guests.
One visit, and your home technology just works.
| Smart Home Setup & Instruction Charts Services | After Consultation – Prices Very |
| Single device + chart | $75–$100 |
| Full room setup + chart | $125–$175 |
