In Washington, from November 1 to April 1, chains must be carried at all times regardless of road conditions, and vehicles over 10,000 pounds must carry at least two extra tire chains. Source: WSDOT: Chain requirements for vehicles over 10,000 pounds.
Washington weather and move timing
Most of Washington's precipitation arrives in the winter months, so winter delivery days are the wettest time to unload. Source: NOAA NCEI State Climate Summary: Washington.
Plan the delivery date with the season in mind, and have utilities on at the new home before the truck arrives.
Every piece of furniture is fully wrapped and protected with moving blankets and tape, at no extra charge.
Parking and access in Vancouver and Bellevue
In Vancouver, trucks with a gross weight capacity over 9,000 pounds cannot park on residential streets in areas zoned residential. Source: City of Vancouver, WA: Neighborhood Parking and Traffic.
Bellevue's Street Use permit covers right of way uses that include parking and loading zones, and it is applied for online through MyBuildingPermit. Source: City of Bellevue: Street Use Permit.
Send us the city permit details or your HOA or building rules once you have them, and we plan the truck around them.
How a Washington move is priced
We quote Washington moves by weight. Expect a rate per pound plus a minimum space reservation, the least you pay for, much like the minimum hours on a local move. Weight above the reservation costs the same rate. This estimate is non-binding; your invoice reflects what the loaded shipment really weighs.
The fixed-price option is a flat fee for reserving an entire truck. That price is binding, with guaranteed pickup and delivery. The same team loads and unloads, and there is no weight limit.
You see the proof: the net weight and the scale ticket come to you after pickup. Decide what stays behind before the free on-site inspection, so the estimate covers only what is going.
Delivery window to Washington
Delivery time window: up to 30 days (company policy). Average delivery time window: 7 to 14 days, counted from your earliest available delivery date.
Pick that date carefully: it is the first day the Washington home can take the shipment.
What can be added at delivery
Four delivery-side services may apply on a weight-based move: stairs past the first flight, a walk of more than 100 feet, an elevator, or a shuttle to a smaller truck. Tell us about the address early so they are planned, not discovered.
Included in the per-pound rate
The rate covers all mileage, taxes and tolls. Loading, unloading, and furniture disassembly and reassembly are included, as are labeling and an inventory list. We bring blankets and tape at no charge; other materials are charged as used. Basic valuation at $0.60 per pound per article is included; full value protection is available from Baker International (account ID 17421). Not in the base rate: packing (available per pound) and unpacking.
Payment and discounts
You pay 50% at pickup and 50% at delivery. Payment: Cash, Money Order, Visa, or Mastercard (3% transaction fee applies for card payments). Card balances are paid one day before delivery. Returning customers and real-estate-agent referrals get 7% off, and friend referrals 5%.
