Moving From Phoenix to Seattle, WA - Tips From Long Distance Movers

Planning for any move is stressful, but a family must plan carefully to pull together a move from Phoenix to Seattle, WA or vice versa. The move itself takes longer. It’s a 1,400+ mile trip, traversing desert and mountains. The trip is scenic, but takes about 22 hours driving time.

Think About the Logistics

Start planning the moment you get that new job or promotion or decide to move back to the Pacific Northwest. Here are some planning questions:

• How much will it cost?
• Should I let the moving company pack our belongings?
• How soon should I call the moving company?
• How do we coordinate getting to our new home or apartment at the same time as the movers?

Let’s talk about some of the practical tasks that you’ll be doing over the coming weeks. Find a new house or apartment. Decide what furniture to move to Seattle and what to donate. Organize records and do notifications.

Housing in Seattle

Seattle’s home prices have been steadily rising over the past two years. According to Realtor.com, the median listing price is $679,000, and the median closing price is $727,000. Average per square foot price is $418.

Phoenix residents moving to Seattle will face difficult housing decisions:

• Smaller with shorter commute.
• More spacious and longer commute.
• Choosing an area for well-rated schools.

Weather

Seattle’s climate is classified as a warm-summer Mediterranean climate. Residents love the warm, mostly dry summers. Winters are cool and wet, with half of the annual rainfall coming in November, December and January. Given its location adjacent to the Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean, it is the cloudiest metro area in the United States.

Population and Major Industries

The metro area (Seattle, Tacoma and Bellevue) boasts a population of just over 3.7 million. Located on the Puget Sound, new residents are surprised that they might commute to work or go exploring by ferry.

Metro Seattle is home to Google, Boeing and Amazon. Manufacturing, healthcare, retail and professional services account for 46 percent of employment.
