Ask when the hourly clock starts: many Washington movers bill from the moment the truck leaves their yard, not from your front door. Pianos, safes, and other heavy items often add $150 to $400 or more. Basic liability coverage is thin by law, only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound TV worth $1,000 would only be covered for $18 if it's dropped, which is why buying extra protection is worth asking about.

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 Pierce County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 20% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
