Austin is the longest haul on our route board and one of the most requested, driven almost entirely by the tech-relocation economy that the Eastside lives on. A Redmond-to-Austin move is a 2,120-mile interstate run: south and then east across the interior, down through the Rockies and the plains, and into Central Texas. It is roughly four to five days door to door, with the same crew carrying your shipment the whole way.
Leaving the Northwest? our Seattle Eastside crew keeps the whole haul on one truck with one crew, the price set in writing before we load.
The Seattle-to-Austin tech move
This is the marquee tech-migration route. Austin’s booming software and chip industry hires steadily out of Seattle, and the combination of no Texas income tax and homes that go far further than King County prices makes it an easy call for a lot of engineers and families. We move people leaving Redmond apartments near the Microsoft and Amazon campuses and families cashing Eastside equity for a much larger Austin-area house.
The long run south
Crossing more than 2,000 miles takes you through a long sequence of climates and terrain, from the wet marine Northwest through dry interior high country and out onto the warm Texas plains. Winter weather in the mountain and plains stretches is the main variable, so our long-haul lead plans the timing and routing before departure to keep your goods moving on schedule.
What changes when you reach Austin
- A hot, humid subtropical climate, the opposite of the cool gray Eastside fall and spring
- Sprawling newer suburbs with wide driveways and garages, plus dense central neighborhoods
- Hill Country lots and gated communities with access rules we arrange in advance
- Cross-country timing that often calls for storage in transit if your closing shifts
