Questions, answered
The things people ask before moving day.
Do I need to reserve curb space for a Seattle move?
Not at every address. If the truck needs public curb space, Seattle may require a Temporary No Parking zone and the appropriate parking permit. Private driveways and building loading areas are separate access questions.
Can you work with apartment and high-rise requirements?
Yes. Share elevator reservations, loading-dock instructions, certificate-of-insurance requirements and building hours before move day so the crew and schedule can be planned around them.
Do you serve the Eastside and foothill communities?
Yes. Current coverage includes Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Mercer Island, Woodinville, Issaquah, Sammamish, Fall City, Snoqualmie, North Bend and the other communities listed on this page.
What happens after I request an estimate?
The form gives us the basics: origin, destination, move date, home size and contact information. Our office then follows up to confirm the scope and any access details that affect the plan, such as stairs, elevators, parking, driveway access or unusually heavy items.
