NYC to Washington State movers priced once for the whole road west

Washington State sits about as far from New York as a move can go without a boat, and we quote the entire run as one flat, guaranteed price. The New York end of the job, from the building's insurance paperwork to the truck's parking, is settled before the long drive west begins.

Step 1 of 4: Move

Step 1: Move

First, the move itself

Where you're leaving and where you're landing.

Street address is best, but a neighborhood works.

Even just the borough is fine if you're not sure yet.

NYC to Washington State

The New York end is settled before the country is crossed

However far west the truck is headed, the first morning belongs to your New York building. The certificate of insurance travels from our office to your management company with nothing for you to chase. Our name goes on the freight elevator booking, and where the truck will park on your block is settled before the day begins. For anything the quote form does not cover, call (212) 203-3171.

It’s worth saying early that this page covers the state of Washington, the one out by the Pacific, and that the capital is its own separate route. Whatever goes up the ramp on your block stays in that same truck until Washington, with no handoff to another carrier somewhere in the middle of the country. The day the truck is due there is agreed with you and written beside the price on your quote.

In every quote

Carried in the price, all the way to Washington

The one price you sign off on before anything leaves your apartment already has every one of these inside it.

  • One guaranteed price settled before loading day
  • The COI lodged with your building's managers and followed up until it clears
  • The freight elevator held for your load-out if the building has one
  • Somewhere for the truck to park, arranged ahead of the day
  • Pads and straps that hold everything still for the drive
  • Floors and doorways protected while everything is carried out
  • Boxes marked for the rooms waiting in Washington
  • A delivery day for the Washington end written into the quote

One flat price, locked in before moving day

Your quote is a guaranteed flat fee for the whole job. If moving day runs long, you still pay the number you agreed.

What builds a quote for the Washington run

What makes the trip
the big furniture and the carton count set how much of the truck you need, and that is where the price starts.
The width of the country
a run to Seattle covers close to three thousand miles, and we price the actual roads the truck will take.
The delivery address
a steep Seattle street is a different unload from a Tacoma driveway, and the quote allows for the one you're headed to.
Your New York building
whether your things come down five flights on foot or ride a booked freight elevator changes how many hours the load-out runs, and so does where the truck can park.
Packing help
ask us to pack the rooms you would rather hand over, and that work is priced into the same quote.

Put a firm price on the road west

Describe what's making the trip and name the city it ends in, and we'll send you one flat guaranteed price with every state between already inside it.

Add-on

Packing sturdy enough for the whole country

Books and heavy shelves go into small cartons, and paper gets worked around anything that could rattle on the road. Hand over the fragile rooms or the entire home, and however much of the packing is ours rides on the same guaranteed quote.

Storage, picked up and brought back

If the new place isn’t ready yet, we arrange the storage and load your things in ourselves, still wrapped from the move. When you have the keys, we bring it all back.

Questions asked before a move to Washington State

Can one flat price really cover a coast-to-coast move?

It can, because the price is worked out from the load you describe and the actual distance of this route, both known before you ever see the price. Whatever the road adds after that belongs to us.

Is a New York company allowed to deliver in Washington State?

Yes. Keepsake holds its own federal authority for moves between states, so the truck that leaves your block in New York is still ours when it backs up to the curb in Washington, and every registration behind that is written out on our licenses page.

When will everything reach Washington?

The season over the passes counts for as much as the miles do, so we ask when your Washington keys change hands and put the delivery day in writing before you book.

Do people usually pack themselves for a move like this?

Box everything yourself, or hand us only the delicate rooms. Over this much road nothing inside a carton should have room to shift, so if you would rather we packed to that standard, say so during the quote and the work is built into the guaranteed price.

What happens if the Washington place isn't ready when we have to leave New York?

That's what arranged storage is for. Everything leaves your apartment on the day the lease insists and waits in storage until your Washington address is ready to receive it. Share the two dates with your quote request, and the storage cost is already inside the quote we send you.

How much lead time does a move to Washington State need?

A few weeks of notice helps most, because your management office has to stamp the insurance certificate before moving day and any packing needs its own slot on the calendar. If the lease has already picked your date for you, phone us with the Washington address and your last day in the apartment.
