As a licensed, insured, and bonded Seattle mover with over a decade of experience in relocations, we understand the stress of the process. This is why we place the utmost importance on the safety and timeliness of your belongings.

From the moment you call us, you’ll notice that our #1 focus is on our customers. We’re here to cater to all your household and residential moving needs, so your move is as stress-free as possible.

Kraken Moving provides free quotes based on the items you are moving, the weight of those items, and the estimated travel time required. Our transparent pricing structure ensures you know the final cost with no hidden fees before – not after – your move.

From start to finish, you can expect a superior level of professionalism from Kraken Moving. Part of that professionalism means showing up when we promise to. Our residential moving crews are locals and live in the Seattle area, so they know all the ins and outs of navigating the city. With Seattle's traffic and crowded streets, this knowledge is essential to ensure your move stays on track. Based on our years of local moving experience, we provide customers with accurate quotes for local moves at affordable hourly rates.

Long-Distance Movers

In the moving industry, long-distance moves are defined as crossing state lines. Based on our research, long-distance moves can take anywhere from two to three days to two to three weeks, depending on the size of your home or office, the distance traveled, and the amount and weight of items that need to be moved. When estimating your long-distance moving timeline, a good rule of thumb is to provide one day for loading, one day for unloading, and an additional day for every 500 miles traveled. When you submit your moving estimate request with Kraken Movers, you will know the estimated timeline of your move before you sign on with us. During your long-distance move, we will:

• Load your prepacked items onto our air-cushioned moving truck
• Disassemble and wrap furniture and large items with moving blankets and leverage straps
• Transport your items to your new home or office
• Unload your items using dollies and place them in your new home or office per your instructions.
• Reassemble all furniture items that were disassembled for transportation.

Office Movers

When looking for a moving company for your office move in Seattle, finding a reliable office mover is important. Here are a few traits of reliable office moving companies that Kraken Moving has:

• Trained & Background Checked Employees: When moving your office, you will most likely need your moving company to move valuable equipment and important documents. All of our employees are permanent employees who are background checked and thoroughly trained to handle special equipment.
• Additional Services: We offer in-office labor-only moving, packing and unpacking services, and moving specialty items such as pianos, artwork, or antiques.
• Transparent Pricing: Reliable Seattle movers provide clear, upfront cost estimates without hidden charges. At Kraken, we discuss potential additional costs and ensure our customers fully understand the pricing structure.
• Efficient Coordination: A seamless office move requires thorough planning and coordination. With office moves, we always have a clear plan for the move, which we communicate to you before we execute it systematically to avoid confusion and delays.

With office moves, we understand the importance of limited downtime. This is why Kraken Moving offers flexible scheduling for office moves, including weekends and weekday nights. Our normal hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. PST, Monday through Sunday, to work within your schedule.

Specialty Movers

When looking for a moving company in Seattle, you want to ensure they offer all the services you need. This is why Kraken Moving offers a variety of different specialty moves, including:

• Last-Minute Moves: We understand that sometimes you have to move unexpectedly. Normally, we are able to fit you into our schedule, and we are happy to assist you, no matter the time constraints.
• Senior Moves: Older adults have unique moving needs, as many are downsizing or moving to a senior living facility. Our senior moving specialists are happy to assist you every step of the way during your senior move.
• Labor-Only Moves: If you already have transportation for your move, or you just need something moved in your home and office, you can hire Kraken Moving just for labor.
• Moving Antiques: With experience and expertise in moving antiques, Kraken Moving can move your antique items, whether furniture, glassware, ceramics, or art.
• Moving Pianos: Whether you have an upright piano, a grand piano, or anything in between, we will disassemble the piano as needed and wrap it to protect it during transit.
• Moving Gun-Safes: Whether you need your gun-safe moved in your home, to another local location, or across the country, we have the equipment and training to do so.

In Seattle, Kraken Moving is a versatile and professional solution for diverse moving needs, from last-minute relocations to specialized antiques transport. Entrust your valued possessions to a moving team prioritizing safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

Packing Services

In addition to our standard and specialty moving services, Kraken Moving also offers packing and unpacking services. Whether you need us to pack a single room or an entire home, we can do it all at an affordable, transparent price, which we will detail in your moving estimate. Here is what you can expect when using our packing services:

• Schedule a Time: On your Order of Service, there will be both a date for packing and a moving date listed. The date for packing is usually at least one day before the move.
• Packing Supplies: We provide top-quality packing supplies with every move, so you do not need to worry about it.
• Packers Arrive: On the scheduled date, your team of professional packers will arrive on time to start packing your items using our provided packing materials.
• Efficiency: Due to our thorough training and experience, we are efficient with our packing, ensuring everything is packed on time. If you want to help streamline the process, we recommend pointing out all the items you need packed before your packers arrive.
• Unpacking: If you also purchase unpacking services, our packers will carefully unwrap and unbox everything for you upon arrival at your final destination.

Regardless of the scale, we always pack with the same meticulous care, ensuring the safety of each item. Depending on the volume, packing might commence a day or two before the actual move, but with our expertise, it's always an efficient process.
