Does the island location matter? Yes — Anacortes sits on Fidalgo Island, connected by bridges and serving as a gateway to the San Juans. If your move involves ferry crossings or narrow island driveways, tell your crew in advance, since ferry wait times can affect scheduling and the hourly clock, which typically runs portal-to-portal from the company's base rather than starting at your front door.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Skagit County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 39% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
