We had a cross country move to Seattle and needed assistance unloading our PODs shipping container. Lake Union Movers was able to get us on the schedule in less than a weeks notice. Service was easy to schedule and Darren + Aaron were so kind and efficient! They even helped us put back together some furniture that was jostled in transit. Would highly recommend Lake Union Movers :) read more

Lake Union Movers went above and beyond to accommodate the move of our new refrigerator. It was a tricky situation that involved extra coordination, obstacles, and some follow up work. Lake Union Movers approached each step with professionalism and care. I highly recommend. read more

I never want to have to move again, but if I did, I'd go with Lake Union Movers. We'd never had to hire actual movers before, and the move itself seemed complicated, but thanks to the professionalism of everyone involved, this was somehow not nearly as stressful as past moves. Excellent communication from everyone, friendly guys who moved us, a truly good experience. I don't often feel moved to write a review, good or bad, but these folks really are the best! read more

This is a family owned business and it shines through in a good way. Hannah, the point of contact, is family and treats you like family. She's genuine and down to earth, very knowledgeable and most importantly focused on helping you in the best way in your situation. She walked me through steps thoroughly, patiently answering all of my questions, and came up with a fair proposal to fit my move. The move was then performed professionally, with courtesy, on time, and as outlined as by Hannah. Discounts were given without my asking to help keep my costs down. Imagine that nowadays! I highly recommend this family company to anyone facing a move. Ask for Hannah! read more

Crap movers, left crumpled up packing tape all over the ground, and left the building door wide open to our building. I do not recommend this moving company as they are a liability. read more

Lake Union Movers are the best! From Hannah in the office who not only did a virtual walk through but also an in person walk through of our house. Joe and his team were an excellent! They were very professional, friendly and efficient at packing up the entire house in half a day. They kept us informed on the drive down to Dallas of their status. Jaden and his team handled all boxes and furniture with care. Joe and his team relieved the stress of escaping Seattle. read more

Wow. I was blown away by the men moving me. Their positive attitude, attention to customer service and most importantly their work ethic moving me in under three hours. Highly recommended. read more

We used lake union movers yesterday. They were PHENOMENAL! They dealt with so many challenges (giant couch that didn't fit in the elevator, navigating large antique pieces up a tiny walk up hallway) with ease. From the day before my move when I got the confirmation call I knew I was in excellent hands. The woman who confirmed my move answered all my questions and really put my mind at ease around what to expect. When the movers showed up (Joe, Joe and Jay) they were on time, friendly and professional. They were also highly SKILLED and knew how to do everything from taking apart a treadmill to safely hoisting our giant couch from the second floor patio when it didn't fit through the stairwell. They were able to navigate tight spaces without harming furniture movers have dinged in the past. They were calm, communicative, and worked as such a well functioning team even when things got stressful. Their truck came outfitted with supplies like free extra wardrobe boxes for us to use, blankets and a full tool kit for dissembling last minute things. Moving is so stressful. Do yourself a favor and book Lake Union Movers to make things go as smoothly as possible. I will never consider another moving company as long as I live in Seattle this family runned company has my business! read more

This is our second time using Lake Union Movers. We needed to move my parents out of their home of 40 years to their new retirement community. Lake Union Movers is top notched from the front desk to the moving team. Easy to communicat with, friendly and helpful. Lake Union Movers are honest and hire hardworking, smart and flexible employees. My parents cannot stop raving about their experience with Lake Union Movers. I highly recommend them. read more

I picked this company to move my daughter because of the great reviews and they really lived up to all the five star ratings. The communication from start to finish was excellent, the actual movers professional, efficient , friendly and careful and the price very reasonable. I rarely do reviews but felt compelled since we were so pleased and grateful. read more

SUPERB Moving Company ~ Above & Beyond Service from Start to Finish We were absolutely floored by the professionalism, amazing efficiency, and unparalleled work ethic of Lake Union Movers each stage of this move. It was literally a pleasure to see the crew's expertise and teamwork in action ~ everything went like clockwork. The truck arrived exactly on schedule, each crew member briefly introduced himself with genuine courtesy (a refreshing rarity these days!), and then the crew set straight to work, not once slowing down as they moved some items to another storage unit and others onto the truck. We were so impressed at how many boxes they stacked on each dolly run and that every item was handled with care and obvious know-how, including a huge heirloom grandfather clock they expertly maneuvered, double-checking that the inner workings had been safely removed for the transport. And they even took the initiative to remove and separately wrap each glass fixture and lightbulb from every lamp, something we'd never considered. On the unloading end, we again saw great organization, communication, and attention to detail ~ the crew was so considerate, consistently checking to make sure boxes were correctly sorted by room, that heavy boxes were put within easy access, that furniture was positioned as desired, feet securely put back on the couches, etc. Not a scratch to anything, and all done by outstandingly nice workers (who get bonus points in our book for 100% clean language). And as if they weren't impressive enough, at day's end a sharp-eyed crew member noticed a small metal pin on the truck bed, and instead of tossing it as most people would, he turned it into the office. It turned out to be part of a lamp from our move, and it was HAND DELIVERED to us the next day! Talk about going the extra mile! I love supporting quality businesses, especially local, family-run ones like this company, and if I could, I'd give Lake Union Movers 10 stars. Thanks so much, Aaron, Jadon, Hanna-Jo, Kayla, and Mario. Blessings back on you and yours. read more

EXCELLENT!!! If I could give 6 stars, I would. The whole team was extremely friendly, professional, and RELIABLE. Lake Union Movers removed a lot of the stress from the moving process. I had a long distance move from Seattle to LA, and after trying several companies who gave me the run around and left me with no movers one week from move-out date, I got in touch with Lake Union Movers. They immediately understood my situation, and turned things around quickly, without being pushy, and were very communicative and prompt. Within a day, they provided an initial quote, the next day they sent an estimator in-person, and the next day we finalized the contract with a very easy e-sign process. Two days later, the movers showed up to pick up items from both my home and public storage, and two days after that my items were driven down to LA and unloaded in my house within 2 hours. Everybody I interacted with, Hanna-Jo, Kayla, Jadon, Brandon, and Joe, were all very friendly, patient, and professional. When there was any need to change the plans, they were flexible, and made those adjustments on the fly with no issues. I HIGHLY recommend using Lake Union Movers to all Seattlites :) read more

Hire these movers!! I couldn't be any happier with Lake Union Movers! What an amazing company...from start to finish. From the very first call to the end of our move, they were so friendly, accommodating, and just so pleasant to work with. They were very professional, reliable, and so efficient. We had a large storage full of stuff; we filled their huge truck! Even on such a hot day, the three guys worked so hard without a single complaint and just smiles on their faces. And it was hot out that day!!! Anyone in need of movers, need to hire this company! Just like the other reviews say, they are PHENOMENAL! read more

They say that moving is one of the most stressful things you can do, and this team wiped away 95% of that moving anxiety in just a few hours with their speed, kindness, empathy, and professional tetris-ing. We were worried that it wouldn't all fit in the pod, but Cisco and Mario used all the available space up to the ceiling and were so fast it blew my mind. Would DEFINITELY recommend this team. read more

Lake City Movers is great! They are fast and efficient and work hard. We recently moved to the San Juan Islands and they handled the logistics perfectly, which many moving companies are not experienced in doing. From the in-person walk through, hard work in loading and unloading, and careful handling of our furniture they did an outstanding job. I highly recommend them for you next move! read more

I'm normally a very laid back person but moving gives me anxiety to the max. We bought a house and needed to move our 2 bedroom apartment to our 4 bedroom house. As a couple, we've moved 7 times in the last 6 years so there isn't a lot of clutter and we had everything packed/broken down/ready to go when Joe, Brandon and Malik showed up. First thing's first: scheduling is easy. Joe and I chatted about our stuff and put a plan in place. Our apartment building's loading dock was in a really REALLY narrow alley that can only accommodate a 18' max truck. Thankfully we don't have a ton of furniture so, while tight, a 16' truck squeezed all our stuff in without an inch to spare. Day before moving day: They give you a ring to check in and see if you need additional services, like help packing, seeing if furniture will need to be disassembled, etc. Moving day: They showed up right on time, 9:00AM sharp. We'd begun moving some boxes into the loading dock elevator and from there, they took over the rest. They finished up loading our stuff while we headed over to the house. We have 44 stairs from sidewalk to front door. We have solid wood furniture. Putting the two together, there was no way we'd be able to manage this, not damage our stuff and end the day not mad at each other. Cutting to the chase, Joe, Brandon and Malik did an amazing job. From the time they arrived to the time they left our house, was 3 hours and 10 minutes. This includes travel time to the house. They went above and beyond our expectations and were realistic with us when a sleeper sofa wouldn't fit in a basement guest room (not for lack of trying). We've had several bad experiences with movers so my anxiety was up to 11, but was eased by the time they left and quite frankly, I was *almost* sad this was our last move for many years because these guys kicked so much ass. If you need a mover, really, hire these guys. They are amazing. read more

Although it took a while to locate Lake Union Movers among the competitors on Yelp, they are truly a hidden gem. From our first contact, they responded quickly and showed up promptly. Attention to detail was exceptional, with every small or fragile item of ours cushioned in lots of packing paper. When we later texted them regarding a question, they responded almost immediately. Excellent customer service (they sent a gracious thank you card), and moving service!!!! read more

Another customer reporting in with a good experience. It's a pleasure to see a local, family-owned business doing good work. In addition to getting the job done quickly and efficiently, Kayla, Jadon, Brandon, and Chuck were very nice to work with. Moves usually come at stressful times, and Lake Union Movers managed to make the process less stressful, which I appreciated. I will definitely call Lake Union Movers for any future moves. read more

Great movers. Kaley came out within a day of our phone call and walked through our house and what needed to be moved. She then emailed me a proposal and estimate for cost. Moving day, Joe arrived right on time with Jarrod, Francisco and Forrest. They got the move done under their estimated time and so the move was cheaper than the estimate by several hundred dollars. We have some antiques that have been in our family several generations. They were all moved with care and no damage. All of the movers were very courteous and polite and professional. We would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

We reached out to Joe for a move from Seattle to Issaquah. Joe was extremely quick to respond and provide answers to the multiple questions I had. We were able to quickly coordinate a time and date for the move via email which is super convenient. On the day of the move, I was notified prior to their arrival which is perfect in addition to arriving on time! That's always a huge plus since we were on a pretty tight schedule. Because we had a lot of our items packed already, they were able to move everything from our apartment in Queen Anne to Issaquah in 2 hours (including the drive) which is crazy fast compared to the initial estimate of 5 hours. It probably helped that we did our move at 9AM so traffic was light. Overall, amazing experience. Nothing damaged, nothing broken, extremely courteous team who work hard and do not waste a second of your time in an effort to provide the best service they can. Definitely a 100% stress free move as advertised. I would highly recommend them to anyone else looking for movers. read more

Honestly so great. Fast, hard working and so nice!!! My sons stuffed animal was left behind in their truck and they came back to deliver a few weeks later. They are wonderful. read more

This review is way overdue - Lake Union Movers completed my move across state on 4/1/20 - but so deserved. The basics: they are polite, professional, punctual (not going for alliteration here, but it's happening), affordable (as compared to 3 other companies), and honest (brought me a $100 bill they found crumpled under my dresser. turned out to be movie money, but good on them for bringing it to my attention). From first contact with Joe, to emails with Hanna-Jo confirming the move, to day of move and the next day move into storage, the team was incredibly easy and efficient to work with. Big thumbs up. read more

Great service- Respectful and speedy! I recently worked with Lake Union Movers and I have to say it was one of the best moving experiences I have ever had. Joe was very helpful and reassuring- the team showed up and loaded the van SO fast, the unload was even more speedy- and NOTHING was damaged! I would absolutely hire them again in an instant. read more

Showed up on time, Johan and Malik were efficient and did a fantastic job. They checked in with me throughout the move out and move in. They are skilled movers knowing how to navigate stairs, low ceilings and corners. They are very cautious and did no damage to walls or ceilings because they pay attention to the space . We had a phase two move today (3/30/21) from our storage unit. What a fantastic experience. We had Joe the owner and two additional movers. They emptied out two storage units quickly and when they arrived at our home, Joe reorganized our garage so everything could fit in out garage rather than put too much into our house. Lake Union Movers are phenomenal. They give you a realistic bid and you only pay for the actual time it takes. Because they were so efficient today, our actual cost was significantly less than the estimate. Joe hires great employees and treats them fairly. read more

I give these guys 5 stars. Moved yesterday and they did an outstanding job. Great communication before move. Showed up right on time, everyone masked. Move was efficient, safe, and fast. Good price too. Special shout out to chris, jay, and Sebastian who made it happen. Would definitely recommend Lake Union Movers to anyone, and would specifically request chris jay and Sebastian next time. Those guys are the lick. read more

LUM moved us from a one bedroom apartment in San Francisco to a 4 bedroom house in Seattle. It was the first time we've had movers and they made our move so easy. Joe and his team were very responsive, transparent, and really cared about making sure we were happy and our stuff was safe. Highly recommend LUM! We'll definitely use them again in the future! read more

We moved from the Seattle area to SoCal, and found Lake Union movers to be a lovely, responsive team! Everyone with whom we interacted was professional and friendly. The rates they quoted us were reasonable, and when things went slightly wrong (our fault, not theirs), they made every effort to resolve. Cannot recommend enough! read more

Joe and his team are awesome. I sent a few requests for quotes ~1 week before my move to a 5-6 moving companies via yelp. Joe was the first to respond. He made it easy to reach his company to get a quote and learn what's offered in his services. I paid $165/hour for 3 movers plus all the tools and supplies to make it a quick process. They even have boxes for clothes so that you can keep your clothes on a hanger during the move! They have large bins to hold odly shaped items like Amy ~10 things I packed in reusable bags vs grocery boxes. Joe and his team for my stuff out of my old place and into my new place in ~3.75 hours and that's including drive time and a tricky route to get to my new building's freight elevator. All in all the process was the most efficient I've ever received from a moving company. I would use this company again and recommend to anyone looking for help moving. read more

Moving is always stressful, but not with Lake Union Movers. We had a very complicated move with items coming from a lot of different places, and shipping across three states. Additionally, we changed the date of the move several times. Lake Union Movers was our partner in every sense of the word. They worked with us on ensuring our items and dates would all be accommodated and looked after with care. I highly recommend them. read more

I couldn't recommend Joe and his team more enthusiastically - they are as fast, friendly, and professional (as promised) of a mover as you will find. Our family has moved both out of state and cross-town, and I've never seen movers as efficient as them. They completed a same day move from a three bedroom home in Seattle to a four bedroom home in Portland in 11 hours (that includes drive time!) and did it for less than their estimate. Other moving estimates had us on a 3-5 day shipment timeline for thousands more. Lake Union Movers is the best! Joe came to our home about a month before the move and gave us an extremely reasonable quote for an out-of-state move. He was communicative and patient as we worked through dates and signed the contract. He bent over backwards to do the move on a date that worked best for us, and took on the challenge of moving us from Seattle to Portland the day before the Solar Eclipse. Leading up to the move, he was available via phone and text and checked in to discuss the day-of timeline. He earned a lot of confidence before the move even started, which was reassuring as this was such a high pressure situation for us. The day-of they were 15 minutes early and completed loading the truck in less time than promised (and the original timeframe was ambitious). They actually beat us to Portland, and got to work before we even got there. There was never a moment wasted, and they were smart and efficient each step of the way. They unloaded the truck in less time than it took to load, which is impressive considering we moved from a one to a two story house. We got a discount for the load weighing less than the estimate, which when does that happen? And it was a competitive estimate to begin with! But as Joe says, he strives to be on time and under budget, and he was. Joe has a ton of experience leading complex moves and it shows - he made this stressful move incredibly easy for us. Joe & his son were fantastic to work with and I would trust them with any future move, big or small and recommend them to all friends and family (the move literally just happened and I'm sure everyone is already tired of hearing how smoothly it went - I can't stop talking about it). No need to look elsewhere, Lake Union Movers is worth a call. read more

This was my first time hiring movers. I was quite pleased with Joseph and his team. They have a friendly, professional, and "let's get this done" demeanor. They worked swiftly and tirelessly in one of the hottest weekend we've had in Seattle this year. I later found out that they also run a fitness center, which explains their stamina and speed. They worked hard and quick to meet the time estimate they provided staying within budget. My fam was around to help for a bit and all were equally impressed with this team. "10 out of 10 according to my mom". I will hire them again. read more

I had Joe move us after having lived in our home for 12 years. They did a phenomenal job! Joe showed up for the bid on time and professionally dressed. He gave me options and listened to how I wanted to have the move go. We agreed upon price and he delivered. His team were fit, cheerful, and capable people that stuck to a timeframe, knew what they were doing, and made the experience fantastic. I'll be sending him plenty of business. Look no further for a mover... read more

Joe and his team were recommended through a coworker when we were looking to move locally in the Seattle area. He was accommodating and efficient with our move. We had a time frame that meant an early morning move on a Sunday, the day after he was getting back from a vacation. They showed up and had us loaded and unloaded in 3 hours! Wow! The team was friendly and professional and made sure to ask the questions necessary to make the move go smoothly. We would recommend Lake Union Movers to friends and family in a heartbeat. read more

Best crew I have ever seen. Joe and his crew are very efficient and have a good attitude. They take good cares of all our items and very patient to follow our instructions of where to put the item back in my new place. When they were unloading , they put my items in a right manner. They are very good . Highly recommend!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Joe and his staff. This company is truly amazing to work with. Our family moved from West Seattle to Portland and along with the million things on my to-do checklist was to find a reliable moving company. We found Lake Union Movers and read all the wonderful reviews online. Joe was the first to respond out of the 5 moving companies we contacted. We scheduled a time for him to come over and do a walk through so he could give us an accurate estimate. Right away, I got good vibes and he was very friendly and professional. Eventually, the other companies responded with much higher quotes, but regardless, we knew that we were going with Joe. He made our move extremely seamless and really gave us peace of mind throughout our transition. He even came by the day before to see if we needed any extra wardrobe boxes or tips on packing things. We loaded up our house one day and met Joe and his wonderful team, including his sons, in Portland the next morning. They arrived on time both days, were very efficient and I'm happy to say, not one single thing was damaged or broken! We would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy moving company. I don't think it gets better then Lake Union Movers. read more

This review is way overdue by a year, but very much deserved. We had the absolute best moving experience with Joe and his team. They busted out the job quickly and efficiently, and the team was super friendly to work with. We've since recommended them to a few friends and family. read more

Joe and his team are great. Joe was very professional and came out to give us a quote for our move. We were moving from the 5th Floor of a Belltown Apartment to a House and the cost was super reasonable. His crew was efficient and so careful with our belongings. 3 guys loaded a large 2 bedroom apartment into a truck, transported it 4.5 miles, and unloaded into a house in less than 3 hours (less than the quoted time). We packed our own boxes, but they offer a packing service as well. read more

It's time for an overdue THANK YOU to Lake Union Movers! They truly are a family business you can trust. The team seamlessly moved us from Kirkland, WA all the way to Dallas, TX at the end of October. We had previously handled multi-state moves on our own, but never one of this magnitude, so knew we needed the help of movers. It was daunting researching different companies, on top of having just hosted all of our wedding festivities. Moving is typically a headache and heading to the lone star state was not the honeymoon project of our dreams, but thankfully we connected with Kayla at Lake Union Movers! We were absolutely taken by how detail oriented and kind the team was! Even the owner, Joe, was there for our move out day, working alongside his crew, who was not only efficient, but brought all of the needed charm and icebreaking energy that's so essential in those moments of move exhaustion. THANK YOU again, Forest, Aaron, and Chuck! And our truck driver (Forest) was not only able to witness the whole pack out, he drove the truck himself and hand delivered our non-damaged items to Texas perfectly on time. Note there were major snowstorms sprinkled along our journeys...just WOW. So much integrity and grit from this crew. There really isn't enough to say that can do justice to the efforts made by the Lake Union Movers team. read more

Moving a 4500 square foot house into PODS for a cross country move was something I thought I could tackle with a few day labor guys. No way - packing PODS isn't easy and not something I wanted to mess around with at the risk of damaging our stuff. Joe, Jadon, Xavier, and Jacob were all extremely hardworking, professional, easy-going, and knew exactly what they were doing. There are a lot of moving companies - I'd recommend you call these guys first and get on their schedule. read more

Lake Union movers recently moved us to a new house and were awesome! Compared to previous movers we have used they worked extremely hard and were very efficient and careful with our stuff. I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know who is moving. Also they were all super polite and friendly. read more
