Great team and they did a terrific job.
I have used mountain moving and storage multiple times over the last number of years. They have moved me locally and cross state. I have always been satisfied with their professionalism, with the care they take, and fair pricing.
Had our HHG delivered yesterday. My husbands been in the military for over 20 years. We’ve PCS a lot. This was the first delivery where our stuff was treated with respect. If something was broken they told us immediately so we could note it. They cleaned up everything and took extra care in making sure the carpet and grass were protected when they needed to move heavy items. The entire crew was fantastic, friendly and very patient with us when we didn’t know where things were going. I wish I remembered their names so I could give them a shout out. We definitely recommend Mountain moving.

The city of Tacoma has tighter parking rules than its surrounding suburbs. If your building is in a Residential Parking Zone, moving trucks can park for only 2 hours, or they may get a ticket. This can happen in areas like the Stadium District or Wright Park.
Tacoma’s Permits and Development Services portal allows residents to apply for a temporary on-street parking permit. It also lets residents reserve curb space for a truck. According to the City of Tacoma’s parking page, “The Residential Parking Program is designed to provide parking privileges for residents… to park beyond the time limits. Vehicles with permits are exempt from citations… but must adhere to the posted regulations.”
Manage utilities with Tacoma Public Utilities and watch for connection fees. Some waterfront condos charge admin fees of several hundred dollars. Realtor Catt Johnson advises: “Locate your main water shutoff, electrical panel, and sewer cleanout. In a small leak or outage, minutes matter… Test smoke and CO alarms; ensure your address is visible from the street.”

Restricted parking and long carry distances raise your moving costs. According to Angie’s List, “Long carry fees are incurred when a moving truck isn’t able to park close to your home”. Consumer Affairs notes, “Some movers include a fee if they have to walk more than 75 feet from your home to the truck”. We inform you about those fees in advance.
