  • Professional. Our team puts great emphasis on demonstrating their expertise and knowledge in the most professional manner possible. Moving is a business where doing things by the book and employing good screening practices and ongoing training is taken very seriously. We might be a family-owned, local company but don’t be deceived, we are no small “mom & pop”. We have a fleet of well-maintained trucks & equipment.

We have you covered with our services

Despite all the things we listed above, we are aware that you may need more knowledge about us before you can conclude that our team of local movers Seattle is indeed the right choice for your moving and storage needs. On the note of storage…

Additional services we provide
Are you in need of storage space? If so, you can count on us, the highest-rated local movers in Seattle to provide it!

We have storage warehouses in Seattle, Lynnwood, and Newcastle that are ready to store your belongings when you need it. Actually, our storage units have been used, upgraded, and occupied for more than a century as well. Of course, they changed quite a lot since then. We dedicate significant time and expense to the maintenance of our warehouses to ensure that you can expect only the best storage solutions from us.

There are many reasons why you might need a storage solution. Maybe it’s a last-minute relocation. Perhaps you need somewhere to keep the stuff while your real estate process is completed. Whatever your needs, we are licensed and insured to safeguard your possessions with great care. You can rest assured that what you own is well protected while in our possession!

Special services we provide

The average American will move as much as twelve times during their lifetime. And as the best movers in Seattle, we also provide many additional valuable services that would fit all those moves. And these go beyond your everyday moving solutions:

  • Commercial and office relocations,
  • Industrial and employee relocations,
  • Storage services
  • Car shipping,

To begin, we offer professional moving solutions for seniors in Seattle. Hansen Bros. is very familiar with the challenges and special needs involved with helping a senior move from a long-time home to an apartment, condominium, or senior living community. We take the task of assisting with these sensitive relocations very seriously and take pride in ensuring the whole process is professional, friendly and highly personalized.

From the moment our relocation consultant arrives on-site to provide a complimentary, no-obligation survey and estimate, they work diligently to set the older adult at ease. They do so by explaining how the move can occur with far less stress and strain than past moves they’ve made.

The Hansen Bros. Move Management division

Hansen Bros. has moved multiple generations of families and recognizes that moves that later life moves are different than regular moves and require special attention and handling. With this in mind, we created a specialized division to ensure such moves have minimal stress and strain for our elderly customers and their families. 

This division, HB Move Management provides a more personalized approach and an expanded menu of services including things like floor planning, downsizing assistance, special service referrals (i.e. trash hauling and estate sales), packing, unpacking, and resettling (even making the beds!). HB Move Management (HBMM) also regularly provides seminars on the topic of downsizing at local retirement communities and other public venues. If you’re interested in attending a seminar, please call (206) 257-4314 and a member of the HBMM team will gladly get you registered to attend.

The proven track record of local movers Seattle relies on

And finally, the best way to prove our work is to let other people do it for us. We have amassed thousands of satisfied customers throughout our history and over 3,000 are featured on our website. Our company has successfully performed some rather remarkable moves as well (including, but not limited to, the “Son of Heaven” exhibit, relocating the entire Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI), and large moves for Pacific Northwest high tech companies with household names.
