Moving Companies in Tukwila, WA
Local moves in Tukwila and the wider Puget Sound area are billed hourly, with crew size the main driver of your rate: two movers and a truck run $90 to $160 per hour, three movers run $210 to $260 per hour, and four movers run $280 to $300 or more per hour. Larger crews cost more per hour but usually finish the job faster, so the total isn't always as far apart as the hourly numbers suggest.
| Home Size | Estimated Total Cost |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1-Bedroom | $400 - $900 |
| 2-Bedroom | $900 - $1,600 |
| 3 to 4-Bedroom | $1,500 - $3,500+ |
Washington's transportation commission sets minimum and maximum rates for licensed in-state movers, so a wildly cheap or wildly expensive hourly quote is worth double-checking. A three- to four-bedroom home often needs a multi-person crew or a second truck, which is the main reason that bracket carries the widest range. Share your rough square footage, floor count, and how far the move is going, and any company should be able to narrow that range down quickly. The directory just below has local crews worth comparing.

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.
