Seattle Movers Move day, handled.
With care. By our local team. Start to finish.
What are you moving?
Leave the heavy lifting to the pros
Since 2009, Puget Sound Moving has helped Seattle households and businesses move with care. We’re a locally owned, Seattle-based moving company with close to 20,000 moves behind us and five offices around the Sound, including our downtown Seattle office on 5th Avenue.
Our professional Seattle movers take care of the whole job: padding floors and door frames, wrapping furniture in blankets and shrink wrap, taking beds and tables apart, and loading the truck so nothing shifts on the way across town.

Storage Services What move day felt like.
They show up on time or early, they’re fast and friendly, and super careful with your stuff. We have used PS Moving twice and both times not a single thing was broken when we unpacked.
First class experience from first contact all the way through… packers showed up promptly and were totally flexible in accommodating my schedule and other special requests. Everything packed with care and nothing broke… movers were equally responsive and highly efficient when placing and assembling my furniture in the new house.
The office is very responsive on the phone and text for estimates, scheduling and answering questions--no phone answering services or web forms to general email addresses! The movers arrived on time, were polite, careful and efficient. Nothing was broken and our job came in at the estimate.
Movers for Every Seattle Neighborhood
Seattle isn’t an easy city to move in. Steep streets on Queen Anne and Capitol Hill, tight parking in Ballard and Fremont, apartment towers with elevator bookings downtown and in South Lake Union, and the bridge into West Seattle all shape how a move day goes. Our crews plan for those details before the truck leaves the lot, so the day runs on schedule.
We handle studio apartments, condos, townhomes and family houses in every corner of the city, from Magnolia and Wallingford to Beacon Hill, Columbia City and the Rainier Valley. We also serve the greater Seattle area, including the Eastside, the South Sound and Snohomish County, with crews from our four other offices.
Our movers know the routes between neighborhoods and the hours to avoid I-5 and the bridges, which helps keep Seattle moves on schedule. Whether you’re heading to a new apartment on Capitol Hill or a house in West Seattle, you get movers with real experience in the city, and a moving plan built around your building, your street and your timeline.

How We Work on Seattle Move Day
Get a free estimate
Call our team or book a free video estimate. A move coordinator usually responds within two hours during business hours, and every job is priced up front based on your home and your belongings.
Plan the details
We confirm the date, the crew size and the truck, reserve elevators, and send certificates of insurance to your building if it asks for them. Booking two to four weeks ahead is ideal, and summer dates fill up first.
Protect and load
Your crew lays floor runners, pads door frames and banisters, wraps each piece in moving blankets and stacks the truck so heavy items ride low and nothing slides on Seattle’s hills.
Deliver and set up
At your new place we put each piece in the room you choose, reassemble what we took apart, and carry the blankets and wrap out with us when we leave.
What We Move for Seattle Homes and Businesses
Most customers need more than a truck and a crew. Pick the moving services that fit your move, and we’ll build the plan around them.
Moving across town
Apartments, condos and houses anywhere in the city, with two to six movers depending on the size of the home. See our local movers page for crew sizes and tips.
Moving out of state
Relocations across Washington and to anywhere in the continental US, handled by our company from the first walkthrough to delivery. Read more about long-distance moving.
Packing service
Full packing, partial packing for kitchens and closets, or fragile items only. Every box is labeled by room and contents. Learn about our packing services.
Storage
Short- and long-term storage in solid wood vaults inside a temperature-controlled, alarmed facility, with a detailed inventory. We can deliver from storage when you’re ready. See storage.
Office and commercial moves
Offices, retail shops, warehouses and labs, moved in the evening or on a weekend so your business loses as little time as possible. See commercial moving.
Moving one piece
A sofa, a piano, a safe or an antique dresser. Specialty and single-item jobs get extra padding, custom wrapping and crating when it’s needed. See specialty moving.
Fast, Friendly Movers Who Handle Everything
A good crew is quick without being careless. Ours arrive ready to start, keep the pace up all day and stay friendly when the stairs get long. Working quickly matters because your time is valuable, but nothing matters more than your belongings arriving in the same condition they left.
Everything below comes with every move we book, so there are no surprises on the day:
- A clean truck with fuel, dollies and straps
- Moving blankets and shrink wrap for your belongings
- Disassembly and reassembly of beds, tables and desks
- Floor runners and door-frame protection at both homes
- Elevator reservations and building insurance certificates
- Delivery to more than a single address when you need it
Moving Help From a Seattle Team You Can Call
Hiring a mover is a big decision, and you should be able to reach a real person when you have a question. When you call, you talk to our Seattle team, not a call center or a lead service that passes your number to other moving companies. We’ll help you pick a date, work out how many movers and trucks your move needs, and decide whether packing or storage makes sense.
That same service carries through to move day. Your crew leader walks through the home with you before anything is loaded, points out items that need extra care, and makes sure each box and piece of furniture lands where you want it. If your new place isn’t ready yet, we can help with storage and deliver later, in Seattle or anywhere else we go. It’s the kind of service that gives you peace of mind, and it’s why so many customers call our moving company again for their next move.
Why Seattle Families Choose a Local Mover
Choosing a Seattle mover is about more than a date on the calendar. National moving companies often book your job and hand it to whoever is available. We’re a local company, and our crews have spent 17 years learning how Seattle buildings, streets and seasons work. That experience shows in small things: knowing where a truck can park on a busy block, which buildings need insurance certificates, and how to carry a couch up a narrow Craftsman staircase.
We move seven days a week, short-notice dates are often available, and we’re licensed for household goods moves in Washington and registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation. If something is damaged, tell us within 48 hours and we’ll make it right. For valuable items, ask about valuation coverage when you book.
Our team brings that experience to every job. Our professional movers treat your home the way they’d treat their own, and our office stays in touch from the first call until the last box is inside, so moving with us feels organized instead of stressful.

Seattle Moving Questions, Answered
How far ahead should I book my move?
Two to four weeks is ideal for a move around town. Plan on four to eight weeks for a move out of state or anything in the summer. Short-notice dates are often open too, so it’s worth calling even if your move is this week.
How much does a move cost?
It depends on the size of your home, how much you’re bringing, the distance and access at both ends. We don’t post prices because every move is different. Call for a free estimate, or book a video walkthrough and we’ll give you a price for your move.
Do I need to empty my dressers?
Yes. Please empty all dresser drawers before move day. Full drawers make a dresser too heavy to carry safely and can damage the frame. Pack the contents in boxes.
What can’t go on the truck?
We can’t transport hazardous materials such as gasoline, propane, paint or aerosols. Our crews also don’t disconnect gas lines, plumbing or electrical fixtures, so please have washers, fridges with water lines and light fixtures disconnected before we arrive.
Can you move me out of Washington?
Yes. We move households from Seattle to anywhere in the continental US. After reviewing your inventory, we give you a written estimate for the whole job.
Which office serves Seattle?
Our Seattle office is downtown at 1420 5th Ave, Suite 2260. Crews from our other offices help on busy days, so you get a date that works for you.
