Bellevue Moving FAQ

Common questions about moving in Bellevue, answered.

What do I need to know about moving into a downtown Bellevue high-rise?

Most downtown Bellevue buildings (The Bravern, Lincoln Square, Bellevue Towers) have strict move-in requirements:

• Reserve freight elevator 2-3 weeks in advance
• Provide Certificate of Insurance (COI) — we supply this free
• Moves typically restricted to 8am-5pm weekdays
• Floor and wall protection required — we bring this
• Some buildings require a refundable deposit ($500-$1,000)

We've moved hundreds of residents into downtown buildings and handle all logistics.

Can you handle steep driveways in Somerset and Lakemont?

Absolutely! Somerset and Lakemont are known for some of the steepest residential driveways in the Pacific Northwest — some grades exceed 20%. Our approach:

• Heavy-brake commercial trucks rated for steep grades
• Shuttle service using smaller vehicles for inaccessible driveways
• Pre-move site visit available for challenging properties
• Experienced drivers who know these neighborhoods

Do you offer packing services for Bellevue moves?

• Packing Supplies: Professional boxes, tape, and materials delivered to your door
• Unpacking Services: We unpack and set up your new home

Many tech professionals opt for full-service packing to minimize time away from work.

How far in advance should I book my Bellevue move?

Booking timeline recommendations for Bellevue:

• Summer (June-August): Book 4-6 weeks ahead — peak season
• Fall (Sept-Nov): Book 2-4 weeks ahead — tech hiring season busy
• Winter/Spring: 1-2 weeks usually sufficient
• Month-end dates: Always book earlier, regardless of season

For high-rise moves, factor in elevator reservation time (often requires 2+ weeks notice).
