Roughly 2,490 miles to New England.

Boston is one of the longest runs on our board. The truck leaves Seattle on I-90 east, climbing through the Cascades. From there it crosses Idaho, Montana, and the northern Plains before turning toward New England. The distance and the New England winter mean the schedule plans for weather at both ends.

A dedicated express truck makes it in about five to seven days. A shared load costs less but takes longer, up to three weeks. Your coordinator picks the option that fits your Boston dates and the season. Compare options on our long-distance moving page.

Your move from Seattle to Boston, step by step.

01

Survey & quote

We walk through your Seattle home by video or in person, then put the price in writing with the full cost up front.

02

Pack & load in Seattle

The crew wraps and pads your belongings, loads the truck, and logs an inventory before anything leaves the curb.

03

Across the country to New England

Your coordinator tracks the truck along I-90 toward the East Coast and gives you a Boston window, with updates if winter weather slows the route.

04

Delivery & setup

We unload, carry to the right floor, reassemble the large pieces, and check the inventory before the crew leaves.

Consolidated or express. You pick the trade.

On a 2,490-mile move the trade is timing versus cost. Here it is, laid out plainly.

Consolidated Delivery

Lower cost, wider window

Your shipment shares truck space with other moves heading the same direction. It is the more affordable choice when your Boston move-in date has some give.

Delivery lands inside a window, generally up to three weeks from your first available date. You get a narrowed date range as the truck nears Boston.

Express Delivery

Dedicated truck, faster door to door

A truck and driver assigned only to your move. Your belongings are not combined with anyone else's, so loading and delivery run on a tighter schedule.

Seattle to Boston runs about five to seven days door to door on a dedicated truck. It costs more, and it earns it when your move-in date will not move.

Narrow colonial streets and a permit or two.

Boston was laid out long before moving trucks, so the access can be genuinely tight: narrow one-way streets, no driveways, and triple-deckers with steep, winding staircases. Many neighborhoods require a street-occupancy permit to reserve curb space for the truck. The city is also famous for low-clearance bridges that large trucks have to route around.

There is also the September 1 effect, when a huge share of the city's leases turn over on the same day and the streets fill with movers. If your date lands near then, booking early matters. Tell your coordinator the street and building, and we sort the parking permit and the carry before the truck leaves Washington.

Where people land
Back Bay / Beacon Hill
Historic brownstones with narrow stairs and tight, permit-only street parking.
South End
Brick row houses and walk-ups south of the center, limited curb access.
Cambridge / Somerville
Triple-deckers across the river, popular with students and tech workers.
South Boston
Dense and walkable by the water, narrow streets and on-street parking.
