Our top moving tips when moving to Seattle

Seattle has a reputation for being moister than most with more rainy days than NYC on average. However, that doesn’t translate to more rainfall overall. The precipitation is typically misty, so Seattlites can get away with a good raincoat rather than needing an umbrella day-to-day.

Despite the rainy rep, this Pacific Northwest hub has some beautiful summer weather. Warm and dry weather is what you’ll experience in July and August, with temps that rarely peak beyond 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Rain or shine, you’ll enjoy this lush and green locale with over 750,000 residents in its roughly 84 square miles of city. There’s a lot of ground to cover when it comes to Seattle, so here’s some more info to fortify your move:

  • A growing and green city. Seattle continues to experience population growth. In the past year, the residency grew by about 8,400 folks (so keep an eye on the traffic). A modest increase in comparison to other years, but it has contributed to more than a 50 percent increase in the metro area’s growth overall (which includes King County where the city is located, along with Snohomish and Pierce counties). Ranked #19 in the 150 best places to live by US News & World Report, many enjoy the calming greenspaces and outdoor activities that the area has to offer. Within an hour’s drive outside of the city limits, there’s skiing, hiking, and wineries to enjoy.
  • Must love dogs. This Pacific Northwest hub is a pup-friendly location. It’s among the top 20 cities in the country for pet-friendliness, recently ranking #11 in outdoor pet-friendliness specifically. Depending on where you work, every day may be “bring your dog to work” day at several dog-friendly companies in the city. If you’re bringing along a canine companion with you on your move, you and Fido will have your choice of activities to enjoy together from breweries, famer’s markets, and off-leash dog parks. While dogs can accompany you on public transit, it’s good to know though that your pup must be leashed and cannot claim its own seat. Small dogs that can fit in your lap ride for free, larger breeds may be required to pay full fares to ride through the city.
  • A tech-heavy job market. Seattle is home to a number of large technology companies, including Amazon, Boeing, and Microsoft. Google, Apple, Facebook, and Adobe are among some of the recent transplants. The growth in the tech job market has boomed in the Emerald City, boasting a 35% increase to just under 50,000 jobs in the tech field from 2016 to 2020. Folks with a tech degree are flocking to Seattle as one of the industry hubs as well. That said, they may not have to commute to the office; work-from-home set ups are becoming increasingly more common in the area. New ideas are popping up and the city has also been identified as a place where start-ups flourish. In 2020, they brought in billions in venture capital to fund work in a number of fields, such as healthcare, artificial intelligence, and gaming.
  • Cost of living. Making your move west may cost you just a bit less than living in NYC. Buying a house in the metro area averaged about $778,500 in 2020. Rent costs won’t have you flinching as a big city dweller, ranging from $1,500 for a studio to over $3,000 for a rental house. While car traffic in the city is expected with the booming population growth, there are public transportation options by bus, train, and ferry. Fares for adults are $2.75 per single ride and putting money on an ORCA card will allow you to pay fares on any method of commuting easily. When it comes to taxes, Seattleites don’t pay personal or corporate income taxes. However, retail sales tax is high at about 10.1%; the funds support public transportation, mental health services, programs that benefit children and families, among others.
  • Sips and sights. Seattle really has a taste of everything, from libations to landmarks. The city is known for its brews — particularly of the coffee and beer variety. Recognized the world over as the home of Starbucks, there’s a whole culture of coffee to explore within the city. With over 70 percent of the country’s hops grown in the state, Seattle can also serve up a frothy pint with the best of ‘em. The city boasts neighborhoods full of breweries. Many are within walking distance of each other, so it’s a great opportunity to partake in some tastings on foot. After getting your fill of your favorite beverage, you won’t have to go far to take in some sites. You can take a seat with the Kurt Cobain benches, the unofficial memorial site in Viretta Park. Or, you can get a taste of the local scenery with some urban foraging at Beacon food forest in the North Beacon Hill Area. If a giggle is your thing, tickle your funny bone with a tour through Archie McPhee’s Rubber Chicken Museum — home of the world’s largest rubber chicken! Whatever you’re looking for in your new home, you’ll find it in Seattle.

    From start to finish my move was a great experience. I immediately got a quote. The scheduling was easy, and they provided me with information regarding insurance coverage (and took care of the paperwork my building provided). The move itself went like clockwork. The movers arrived on time and texted me when they were on their way with an ETA to the delivery site. They moved everything up the 3 flights of stairs into my apartment quickly and safely. A great company that provides great service at very reasonable rates.

  • star star star star star

    They were awesome! They take everything apart and then re assemble for you.They wrap up your tvs and glass shit professionally. They take the legs off your couch so it fits through doors. Everything's wrapped until it's inside so it doesn't ruin the paint on your walls if they rub against them.Not even a wine glass was chipped.

  • star star star star star

    They came at zero hour after the moving company I initially hired and paid a deposit to canceled. I was freaking out about my move not happening at all but they did get this done and my stuff arrived more or less intact and accounted for. They handled changes and snafus gracefully and earned their money. Hopefully I won't be moving again for a long time but if I get forced into that again, I'll remember this experience.

  • star star star star star

    Was very easy to call and set up a move. The price was good to. I had some mix-ups and needed to add items and even change the date, but they were able to easily accommodate. Day of the move the crew was super nice and professional. They quickly packed up the entire apartment with ease, I didn't really lift a finger. They made what is usually a stressful day pretty easy.

  • star star star star star

    I was amazed how efficient the guys were. they sorted out my items to be removed and, went straight to work. We will definitely use A Piece of Cake multiple times in the future until, we officially make the BIG MOVE! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP....YES, IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE! NO STRESS INVOLVED...JUST SWEET SERVINGS.....

  • star star star star star

    Piece of Cake Moving was phenomenal to work with. From the initial sale, to the follow up, to the day of delivery. The moving crew themselves were a dream to work with. I honestly don't know how they managed to move everything we'd accumulated over the years in such a short (relatively) period of time. Will definitely use them again (in hopefully 7-8 years).

  • star star star star star

    Jose and his team did a great job moving my husband and I. They arrived on time and were very organized. They were professional, courteous and moved us quickly. They wrapped our furniture very well. They took apart and put together our bed and sectional couch. We were very pleased and would recommend them.

  • star star star star star

    Nicholas and Giga made this moving experience an easy one, especially since I was moving alone. They were punctual, kind and very thoughtful. When we arrived to my apartment? They helped unwrap all the packing tape and set up my furniture and bed - something that would take probably days for me. They delivered excellent service and went beyond my expectations.

  • star star star star star

    Excellent moving company. I hired 2 men for 2 hours to complete 1 bedroom move. They arrived early, were extremely efficient, helpful, personable, strong, and careful. They finished the job with 45 min to spare. Everything went extremely smoothly. I would hire Piece of Cake again.

  • star star star star star

    Great move with POC movers! I rented their pink bins which was an excellent choice, they provide plenty of packing paper, zip ties, and tags. My team arrived right at the start of their arrival window and quickly and safely packed all my bins and furniture into their truck. The team just as efficiently unloaded everything, leaving the bins in the labeled rooms and re assembling my bed frame. I definitely recommend renting their bins. I would definitely use Piece of Cake movers again and recommend them to a friend.

  • star star star star star

    The movers were so professional, friendly and quick. They took such great care of my stuff. I happened to move on one of the hottest days of the year and felt so bad. They were gracious and so still worked quickly. Pls make sure you tip your movers good, they work hard and were really great!

  • star star star star star

    I had made an appointment from another moving company that completely screwed me over the day of. I called every moving company in New York freaking out, and Piece of Cake was willing to come at 7pm to help me move, last minute. I genuinely don't know what I would have done if they didn't go out of their way to fit me in. Anytime in the future I will be using piece of cake moving! They boxed and unboxed so fast and efficiently, it was amazing!
