An Eastside crew, not a call center
Scott Halvorsen grew up around Puget Sound and spent his early career in warehouse and freight logistics, watching how a load actually gets handled when nobody’s looking. By 2014 he’d seen enough hourly moving bills balloon at the curb to want to do it differently, so he put his own truck on the road and started Redmond Movers with one promise: quote the job honestly up front, then send the same crew to finish it. Twelve years later that’s still how every job runs.
Who shows up when you book us
We’re a team of 17 — twelve movers plus the people who keep the trucks rolling. Megan Hollis runs the office: scheduling, certificates of insurance for the Bellevue and Kirkland high-rises, and billing, so you’re never guessing what you owe. Brian Kessler works the dispatch board every morning, matching crews and trucks to the day’s routes around Eastside traffic on I-405 and the SR-520 bridge tolls. On the trucks, Tyler Nakamura leads our piano and specialty work, Cole Jensen runs the long-haul routes out of the region, and Garrett Boswell handles the high-rise and heavy-stairs jobs that the local housing stock throws at us.
Licensed, insured, and accountable
Redmond Movers is a real Washington moving company, not a booking app. We hold WUTC household-goods authority for moves inside the state and USDOT/MC authority for interstate work, we carry our own insurance, and we run our own fleet. Nobody from a “network” calls you. When you hire us, our movers load the truck in Redmond and the same movers unload it at the destination — across town or across the country.
What that means on move day
- Uniformed, background-checked movers who work for us, never subcontractors or day labor
- A flat-rate number agreed before we lift a box, where the $135 you put down to book is taken off your bill
- Floor runners and shrink-wrap as standard from October through May, because the rain doesn’t take days off
- Real local knowledge — freight elevators downtown, long drives on the plateau, permit parking across the water in Seattle
Why people on the Eastside stick with us
The tech economy here means a lot of our customers are new to the area or about to leave it, and they don’t have a cousin with a truck or a neighbor who’s done this before. We try to be the crew you’d recommend to the next transferee who lands at Microsoft or Amazon and asks, “Who do I actually call?” That referral is worth more to us than any ad, so we earn it on every job.
