From the moment we contacted Doug Kentfield requesting an estimate, to his congenial visit with us, to the moment we met the moving team, Jason and Gata, in our driveway promptly on time, we were impressed with the company’s professionalism and care in... moving our furniture. The movers were excellent problem solvers and were patient and helpful, respectful and communicative throughout the day.Over seven hours later they were tired from their efforts but they and we were very pleased with the results. We wholeheartedly recommend Mountain Moving Company to you.read more

Mountain Moving was very responsive and helpful. We had to move a large, heavy gun safe out of our basement up challenging stairs. It was hard to find someone just to consider the job. Doug came over and figured out a way to do it with specialized... equipment and very strong workers they have.They were able to fit us into their busy schedule pretty quickly, so we could send the safe off to its next home. We really appreciated everything!read more

The Mountain Moving gentlemen who moved us couldn’t have been more courteous and skilled. Prompt, careful of all our belongings- including our piano-, and done in less time than the estimate- what’s not to love? Highly recommend!

My nonprofit organization recently worked with Doug's moving crew to coordinate the move-out of our building and into storage while we right size to a better office. Doug was helpful in answering questions, following up on needed information, and... responding to our concerns quickly and professionally. His team was flawless and fast on our moving day, finishing up the work early and under budget,. They also coordinated the efforts for the discarded items to the dump, eliminating extra hassles and time for our staff. We have also worked with Shannon in the business office to take of billing, and those interactions have been helpful, courteous and professionally managed as well. We are so grateful for the excellent work ethic and follow through from everyone at Mountain Moving & Storage, and we look forward to working with them again.read more

Excellent move from beginning to end. I’ve worked professionally with Mountain for over 20 years and was always impressed with their low claims ratio. This was the first time I got to experience it personally. The crew was outstanding and the packing was... superb. We didn’t have a single damaged item in our move. We are upper happy and impressed. If you want or need a flawless move, please do not hesitate to contact Mountain to have the job done right.read more

Great experience. Professional, did not cut corners. Had another local company cancel on me the day of my planned move and had already received a quote from Mountain Movers prior to the other company’s cancellation.

The workers moved a restored juke box filled with CD’s that couldn’t be jostled too much, or I would have spent hours re-organizing them. It was very heavy and awkward, yet two of them handled it no problem. It was moved between two residences smoothly.... Initially we were not sure if it would take three people to move it, so a third mover was there, but went unneeded. The good news was that they were honest and did not charge me for the third person. I would have paid, since he was on the premises, and they refused to charge me. THAT is why I will hire them again in the future should I need to. Honest, efficient, personable work...the way it should be.Joeread more

The gentleman I talked to on the phone to arrange a move didn't seem to have a good handle on what was going on. Had to call 4 times to check on my delivery because he wasn't sure where his crew was or when they had an opening. The moving crew was... phenomenal. They unloaded my entire 26' truck (due to an injury I had) in only an hour. No broken items and they were more than willing to be gentle with the more delicate items and even moved things into the rooms I asked for to ease the hassle of doing it myself. Great job guys I'm impressed.read more

Great experiences with Mtn Moving. I have used them twice - once when they were assigned to my military move from WA to HI, and a second time when I chose them for a move from one point in Tacoma to another.I can't comment on pricing for the first move... (paid for by military), but the second move's pricing was very fair. James (estimator) arrived as scheduled, provided a written estimate and tentatively scheduled a moving day. A 'what-to-expect on moving day' PDF was provided. He offered to provide boxes and packing materials, if needed.Movers (Todd, Tua, Fah) arrived on time on moving day. Walked thru, discussed basic plan and they got to work. Watched the guys move all items and they used standard equipment (carpeted dollies, pads, tie downs, etc). Everything was handled carefully and nothing was thrown or dropped. Load up time was less than estimated and very smooth. Unloading at the new house took even less time.All in all, an excellent experience. Simply put, the service provided was the service promised. I think prepping for moving day is 80-90% of what makes things go smoothly. We had everything boxed up, labeled, and staged by the doors of each room on moving day. Clothes taken out of closets and dressers and boxed up. Read thru the "what-to-expect" PDF and transported prohibited items ourselves before moving day (open chemical containers, alcohol, high value items). Everything you leave for the movers on moving day to deal with adds TIME. That, in turn, will increase your final cost, or torpedoes the whole move because of some showstopper.read more

My wife and I scheduled these guys to help us with our local move. We have used several local companies in the past and have never been happy with the result, hence why we kept trying someone new. These guys are my goto recommendation if you need... assistance moving. I called and reserved a team of 4 and two trucks about a week before our move. They let me know the price estimate and gave us the estimate time they would be there. They called to confirm the day prior and called the morning of to let us know they were on their way. The guys that showed up (Mark, Gabriel, Robert, Jesse) were polite and professional and knew what they were doing. We showed them what needed to go and they quickly got to work. They treated our stuff just like it was there own. They worked quickly and efficiently. Moving is always stressful, these guys made at least this part of it easy. Instead of shopping around for who may be the cheapest, save your self the hassle and call these guys to take care of your stuff.read more

Seattle Movers

Moving for the First Time?

Finding reliable Seattle movers is key to a smooth transition when planning a move in the Emerald City. Professional moving companies in Seattle offer various services to meet relocation needs, from local apartment moves to long-distance relocations. These experienced movers bring the necessary equipment and expertise to handle your belongings safely and efficiently.

On moving day, a team will arrive with a truck and start loading your items. They’ll provide you with a Bill of Lading, which lists all your belongings and their condition before the move. This document serves as both an inventory and a contract for transportation. Once you reach your new location, you’ll use the Bill of Lading to check off items as they’re unloaded. After everything is in place, you’ll review and sign off on the Bill of Lading with the team leader, ensuring all your possessions have arrived safely in your new home.

What Services Do Professional Movers in Seattle Offer?

Professional movers in Seattle typically offer a wide range of services to meet diverse moving needs. These often include packing and unpacking, transportation, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and storage solutions. Many companies also provide specialty services for items like pianos, artwork, or valuable antiques. Some movers offer additional assistance with tasks such as utility disconnection and reconnection or cleaning services. It’s important to note that many of these additional services come with extra fees beyond the basic moving cost. Always clarify with your moving company which services are included in their standard package and which will incur additional charges. “Simply put, full service movers will do everything associated with your move,” states Moving.com.

How Do I Choose the Best Moving Company in Seattle?

Selecting the right moving company in Seattle involves careful research and consideration. Start by checking online reviews and ratings on platforms like Yelp and Google. Look for companies with a strong local presence and a history of positive customer experiences. Verify that the company is properly licensed and insured. It’s advisable to get detailed quotes from at least three Seattle moving companies and compare their services. Pay attention to the level of professionalism during your interactions with the company. This Forbes article explains, “Don’t settle for the first moving company you stumble across. Conduct thorough research, explore customer reviews, check their track records and ensure they’re licensed and insured.”

Mountain Moving & Storage has been a trusted name in Seattle since 1996. We encourage potential customers to read our Google Customer Reviews, which reflect our commitment to exceptional service.

What Packing Services Are Available from Seattle Movers?

Seattle moving companies typically offer a range of packing services to suit different needs and budgets. Full-service packing involves professionals packing all your belongings, while partial packing allows you to pack some items yourself and leave the rest to the movers. Many companies also provide packing materials and can offer guidance if you choose to do your own packing. Unpacking services at your new home are often available as well. “Having a handful of trained packers means that your belongings get prepared for transport significantly faster than you could do on your own,” states Moving.com

At Mountain Moving & Storage, we offer comprehensive packing services tailored to your needs. Our team uses high-quality packing materials to ensure the safety of your belongings during the move. We provide both full and partial packing services, allowing you to choose the level of assistance that best fits your situation.

Are Seattle Moving Companies Licensed and Insured?

Reputable moving companies in Seattle should be properly licensed and insured. For moves within Washington State, companies need a permit from the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission. For interstate moves, a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number is required. Insurance coverage typically includes limited liability coverage with options to upgrade to full value coverage. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration simply states, “Your mover is responsible for the value of the goods you asked them to transport.” It’s important to verify a company’s credentials before hiring them for your move.

Mountain Moving & Storage is fully licensed and insured, meeting all legal requirements for moves within Seattle and across state lines. We hold all necessary state and federal licenses, ensuring we operate in full compliance with regulations. Our comprehensive insurance coverage provides peace of mind for our customers. As a locally owned and operated business, we’re deeply committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and safety in our operations. “Our licenses and insurance reflect our dedication to providing secure, reliable moving services for every customer we serve,” assures our general manager, Shannon Phillips.

How Far in Advance Should I Book Seattle Movers?

The ideal booking time for Seattle movers can vary depending on the season and the type of move. For local moves during off-peak times, booking 2-4 weeks in advance is often sufficient. However, for long-distance moves or relocations during the busy summer months, it’s best to book 6-8 weeks ahead. Last-minute moves can sometimes be accommodated, but booking early gives you more options and potentially better rates. MoveBuddha explains, “During the off-season, it may not be as important to book early, but it’s still a good idea. You never know when a good moving company will be booked to capacity. If you wait to book your movers until a few weeks before your moving date, you’ll be stuck with limited options.”

At Mountain Moving & Storage, we strive to accommodate our customers’ schedules, offering same-day estimates and even same-day service for local moves when possible. However, we recommend booking as soon as you know your moving date to ensure availability, especially during peak moving seasons. Our flexible scheduling options, including weekend availability, help us meet your timing needs. For long-distance moves, earlier booking allows us to provide more comprehensive planning and coordination. “While we excel at handling last-minute moves, early booking allows us to tailor our services more precisely to your specific needs,” explains our general manager, Shannon Phillips.
