Train Crossing Times
BNSF trains run frequently through downtown Auburn. We know the schedules and always use the 3rd St underpass or C St SW route when needed.

Get Your Exact QuoteAuburn Moving FAQ
My Lakeland Hills driveway is terrifyingly steep. Can you handle it?
Absolutely! We've moved hundreds of families in Lakeland Hills. If your driveway is safe for our truck (we assess this during your free quote), our drivers are experts at backing up inclines. For extremely steep driveways (20%+ grade), we bring a shuttle van to ferry items from the street to the house. We always come prepared with wheel chocks, extra manpower, and strong legs.
How do you handle the train crossings downtown?
We know Auburn's train schedules! BNSF trains run frequently through downtown, but we use the 3rd St underpass, C St SW route, or other alternative routes to avoid getting stuck. Our drivers know which crossings to avoid and when. Getting stuck at a crossing when you're on a schedule? Not happening with us.
What about rainy moving days?
This is Washington! If we stopped for rain, we'd never work. We shrink-wrap all upholstered furniture inside the house before it goes out the door. We also lay down neoprene floor runners to keep your hardwoods mud-free. Your belongings stay dry, and your floors stay clean.
Do you charge extra for stairs or steep driveways?
Nope. We charge an hourly rate for local moves. Whether we're carrying a couch up 3 flights of stairs or navigating your Lakeland Hills ski-jump driveway, the rate is the same. No hidden "stair fees," "elevator fees," or "steep driveway surcharges." The time it takes is the time you pay for — that's it.
What areas of Auburn do you serve?
We serve all of Auburn including: Lakeland Hills, Lea Hill, Downtown/Valley, West Auburn, the Outlet Collection area, Muckleshoot area, and all surrounding neighborhoods. We also cover nearby Algona, Pacific, and the borders with Federal Way, Kent, and Sumner. All zip codes: 98001, 98002, and 98092.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes! We're fully licensed by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) and carry comprehensive liability and cargo insurance. Our USDOT number is 4454165 and MC number is 1529384. Your belongings are protected from the moment we arrive until we place the last item in your new Auburn home.
