Inter-county moving means relocating from King County to a neighboring county – Pierce, Snohomish, Kitsap, or Thurston. This service fits when you’re moving for work, upsizing for more space, or relocating closer to family. Inter-county moves require knowledge of different regulations, housing markets, and logistics across county lines. Distances can reach 80+ miles with ferry schedules, bridge traffic, and mountain passes to consider.
Since 2006, our crews have completed hundreds of inter-county moves across the Puget Sound region. We handle packing, furniture disassembly, and careful transport across long distances and changing weather. Every move includes a coordinator who manages timing around ferry schedules, bridge traffic, and building access at both locations. Licensed, insured, and equipped for Pacific Northwest conditions year-round. Call us or book online.


Pricing is hourly by crew size plus travel time from one County to another. Materials are billed only as used. The fastest way to confirm your rate and window is to call our office line with your date, addresses, and item list.

Labor time (packing, loading, unloading, setup) stays similar to local moves. However, inter-county moves add doubled drive time and a travel fee for distance and fuel.
What can add time: Ferry schedules, mountain pass conditions, bridge traffic, and long carries at either location.
For an accurate estimate, provide both pickup and delivery addresses. Book a move or call us.

They were amazing! They came in and packed up the whole apartment in such a short time and everything was handled so carefully. I have never seen such a great moving company and workers and I’ve moved many times before. I would 110% recommend them to anyone!

MWAT did an excellent job helping us move furniture from upstairs and into our garage in prep for some donations. They took great care with the move, followed up to make sure we were satisfied, and went over all the details of the work before and after the move. Recommend and will use them again in the future!

Inter-County Moving Tips
Share both addresses early: Long driveways, stairs, or narrow streets affect truck and crew planning.
Declutter before the move: Inter-county pricing factors distance and weight – less stuff means lower cost.
Check ferry or pass conditions: Moves to Kitsap or mountain areas depend on schedules and weather.
