Moving is expensive. Every extra item on the truck costs money. Here's the Seattle-specific guide to what to get rid of before your movers arrive — and how to clear it fast.
Seattle moving companies typically charge $150–$250 per hour with a two-person crew. Every item they load and unload is money. A treadmill you haven't used since 2020 isn't worth $80 in moving labor — it's worth the $89 we'd charge to dispose of it before the movers arrive, leaving them only with items you actually want at the destination.
Most Seattle moving companies won't take:
The treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, or stationary bike sitting unused in the spare bedroom. Moving equipment you don't use to a new place means it sits unused in the new place. The $89–$149 to have us remove it before the movers come saves significant moving labor and future storage space.
If you're upgrading screens at the new place, don't pay movers to transport the old TV. Electronics recycling pickup from $25 as an add-on.
Seattle apartments and condos often have very different configurations than the home you're leaving. Measure before moving day. Anything that won't fit — toss it here rather than discovering the problem at the destination.
Moving is the perfect time to clear the garage. Everything that's been "staying in the garage" for years — clear it before the move, not after. A garage cleanout before a move typically runs $119–$279.
If you've been paying for a storage unit in Seattle, moving out is the moment to decide: does this come with me? If no — clear it before you leave rather than paying for a Seattle storage unit from wherever you're moving to.
