Clyde Hill occupies a single rise between Bellevue and Lake Washington, and from its upper streets the view takes in the Seattle skyline, the lake, and the Olympics beyond. That view, and the resolve of residents to protect the streets around it, is the city’s whole story. The town was incorporated in 1953, when homeowners on the hill voted to govern themselves rather than be annexed by their fast-growing neighbors. It has stayed small by choice ever since. There are roughly three thousand residents, almost entirely single-family homes, and no commercial district to speak of.
Before the view homes, the hill was farmland. Japanese American farming families grew strawberries on these slopes in the early 20th century. They were part of the same Eastside farm belt that ran through Bellevue and Medina, until the war and incarceration ended that era. The postwar building boom turned the fields into home streets, and the hill filled with the mid-century homes that are now, one by one, being rebuilt into much larger ones.
Moving here is a specific kind of work: substantial homes, sloped lots, mature landscaping, and owners who expect the job done carefully. Royalty Moving & Storage does exactly that.
Clyde Hill local moves involve sloped streets, long driveways, and homes where the access plan matters as much as the crew. We walk the property in advance, position the truck for the grade, and agree on a clear price before the job starts.
The housing stock runs from original mid-century homes to new construction on a significant scale. Larger homes mean larger inventories, finer finishes, and more protection: floor runners, door and banister wrapping, and careful handling of art and specialty pieces throughout.
Clyde Hill is residential by design, but we support home offices and the professional needs of residents, including document handling and equipment moves coordinated with your schedule.
Out-of-state moves from Clyde Hill travel on dedicated equipment with the same crew accountable end-to-end, under a written price and a committed window.
Premium pads on every surface, stretch wrap over them, and full protection on floors and doorways. Specialty pieces get their own handling plan.
If the new house is not ready, we store the whole Clyde Hill shipment securely and finish the delivery on your schedule.
Sloped lots and large inventories are assessed in advance and built into one written price.
Your coordinator handles the walkthrough, the schedule, and the crew, and answers the phone personally.
Look us up anywhere. The throughline is punctuality, careful handling, and quotes that hold.

Clyde Hill is a town of roughly 3,000 residents on the Eastside of Lake Washington, bounded by Medina, Yarrow Point, Kirkland, and Bellevue. SR-520 runs along its northern edge, putting Seattle a single bridge crossing away and downtown Bellevue minutes to the southeast. The town covers barely more than one square mile, rising to a summit with some of the most expansive views on the Eastside.
The town is almost entirely single-family residential, with two schools and a city hall standing in for a commercial district. Its zoning has kept it that way by design since incorporation.
The hill’s farming era began in the early 1900s, when Japanese American families cleared and cultivated the slopes, growing strawberries and produce for the Seattle markets across the lake. The community they built was swept away by wartime incarceration in 1942, a loss shared across the Eastside’s agricultural towns.
After the war, the first floating bridge and the postwar boom brought subdivision. Residents incorporated in 1953, choosing self-government to control growth and protect the residential character of the hill, the same impulse that created the neighboring Points communities. The decades since have been a story of stability: the same streets, the same lots, with homes growing larger as the original mid-century houses give way to new construction.
The hill itself is the logistics. Streets curve with the contours. Driveways drop or climb steeply from the road, and mature trees narrow the approaches. Truck positioning is rarely obvious. On some lots the carry from truck to door is long. We scout every property in advance and plan the crew, equipment, and protection for the specific house.
The homes themselves call for white-glove standards. Large inventories, custom finishes, art, wine, and specialty pieces are normal here. Our crews wrap, pad, and protect accordingly, with floor and banister protection installed before the first item moves.
SR-520 access makes timing simple by Eastside standards, but we still schedule around bridge peaks for lake crossings.
