Before You Book
Ask whether the quote covers just labor and truck time or also includes travel time to and from the company's base, since that is one of the most common sources of a surprise charge. If you have a piano, heavy safe, or other bulky item, mention it during the quote so it is priced in rather than added on moving day. Getting a walkthrough, virtual or in person, before you accept a number is the best way to avoid a total that grows once the crew is already at your door.

Fairwood refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country replaces them almost one for one.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $111,064 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Washington report $81,703. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 King County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 10% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
