The cost of your long-distance move is based in part on the amount of weight you’re moving. One of the easiest ways to make your move more affordable is by donating items you don't need.

Where Movers are Coming and Going in Tacoma, Washington

Here are the top locations movers go to when they leave Tacoma, along with the top locations movers come from.

Where most movers are coming from:

  • Portland, Oregon: Many of these movers are seeking the less competitive housing market in Tacoma. Homes are more affordable without sacrificing the suburban lifestyle that many Portland movers are used to
  • Bay Area, California: Tax advantages are a major factor motivating this group. Washington has no state income tax, and Californians face some of the highest income tax rates in the US

Where movers from Tacoma are going:

  • Pierce County, Washington: The majority of movers leaving Tacoma actually stay within the State. Areas like Puyallup and South Hill can offer lower costs of living while still being near thriving metro areas.
  • California and Portland: Surprisingly, most movers leaving Tacoma are actually headed to the same place others are moving out of! Most movers are leaving for professional reasons, seeking jobs in the tech or manufacturing industries

FAQ

Our intrastate and interstate moving services start at $1,000.

Yelp reports that long-distance moves typically cost between $2,150 and $ 7,750 in the Greater Seattle area.

The cost of your move is decided by looking at three main factors:

  • Level of service required (ex. packing, storage)
  • Total weight of your move
  • Time of year/how busy is the moving company

Look for moving companies that are the following:

  • Licensed and insured: Make sure your move has their license and insurance information clearly visible on their website. Moving with unlicensed movers puts your property at risk.
  • Positively reviewed online: Take a look at Google Reviews, partnerships with agencies like the American Trucking Association or the Preferred Movers Network.
  • Locally based in Tacoma: Whether you’re moving into or out of Tacoma, you want a team that knows the area well. Find companies that have an actual home office or warehouse in Tacoma.

Yes, not only will we disassemble and assemble furniture for you, we do it for absolutely no additional cost. As an added bonus, we also give everyone who moves with us 25 free packing boxes!

The timeline for your long-distance move will vary based on the time of year and the volume of belongings being transported. In some cases, delivery can take as little as two business days, while larger or more complex moves may take up to 20 business days.

Prior to your move, we’ll provide a comprehensive estimate outlining the anticipated timeframe for completion, so you know exactly what to expect.

Because Lincoln operates independently and is not affiliated with a van line, your belongings remain on our truck from start to finish. We never transfer your items to another company along the way. This ensures your property is handled with consistent care and attention by the same trusted team throughout the entire journey.

You do not need to tip your moving team, but any tip is appreciated. We pay our movers for the time they spend on your job. 

If you would like to show your movers your appreciation for a job well done, you could instead leave a review and mention the names of the movers who made your experience great.

Yes, you may need to purchase a parking permit on behalf of your moving company before your moving day arrives.

This is something that our customer support team will discuss with you well in advance of your moving day. Preparing for your moving day may involve:

  • Reserving parking spots
  • Reserving elevators in apartment buildings

Our customer support specialists are happy to help you with everything related to preparing for your moving day and may be able to handle some of these tasks on your behalf.
