Local & long distance · Seattle, Washington

Moves with floor plans and labeled crates.

Crate & Lane Movers is a Seattle crew that photographs your furniture before wrap, labels every box by room, and sends a digital inventory you can search on your phone at the new place. Local apartments get floor protectors and elevator padding; long-distance loads ride in air-ride trailers with barcode scans at every stop. Estimates are flat-rate with written line items for stairs, parking permits and packing hours—no day-of surprises when the walk-up is steeper than described.
