If you already have a truck or container and just need loading help, labor-only crews run about $88 an hour, or roughly $363 to $682 for the whole job — often the cheapest way to move locally. Watch for portal-to-portal billing: many companies start the clock when the crew leaves their warehouse, so the drive to and from your home in Arlington counts toward your total. Basic carrier liability is thin by law — just $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound, $1,000 television would only net you $18 if it broke. Push for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate in writing rather than a rough phone quote, since a non-binding number can grow if the job runs longer than expected.

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 Snohomish County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 18% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
