Seattle is the toughest terrain we cover, and we cover it constantly — across the SR-520 or I-90 floating bridges from our Eastside base, into neighborhoods that were never built for a moving truck. Ballard, Capitol Hill and Queen Anne are dense craftsman and Tudor homes with no driveways, permit street parking, steep one-way blocks and long front staircases. Downtown and South Lake Union it flips to high-rise apartments with freight elevators and loading docks. Redmond Movers works all of it with our own trucks and uniformed crews, licensed as a Washington WUTC household-goods mover with USDOT and MC authority.
Planning a move around this corner of the Eastside? Redmond, WA movers works these streets, towers, and plateau cul-de-sacs week in and week out.
No driveway, permit parking, steep blocks
The thing that catches people off guard in older Seattle is parking. There’s often no off-street spot, the street is permit-only or metered, and the block is a steep one-way. We plan for it rather than circling at the curb:
- Help arranging a temporary no-parking or moving permit with the city
- A curb-to-door route mapped before the truck arrives
- Crews built for the long, stepped craftsman and Tudor carry
- Stairwell and floor protection through narrow century-old halls
Downtown and SLU high-rises
The tower side of Seattle plays by the same rules as Bellevue’s. Buildings in the core and South Lake Union want a reserved freight elevator, a loading-dock window and a certificate of insurance naming the property. We handle the COI on our policy and book the elevator with management before your date so move day runs on time.
Across the bridges, one flat number
Crossing 520 or I-90 doesn’t change how we price — you get one flat rate quoted up front, and the same crew that loads on your Seattle block unloads at the new place. Local moves run two movers and a truck at $169 an hour or three at $229, with a studio or one-bedroom flat-rate from $439 and a $135 deposit credited to the final bill.

We move Seattle
Our crews work Seattle week in and week out, so the steep driveways, the freight-elevator windows, and the building access are second nature long before the truck rolls up. What we quote is one flat written rate — no surprise lines waiting in the fine print.
