How we move on Mercer Island
Mercer Island is reached only by I-90, with two exits and a single ZIP code, 98040, and it is about 15 minutes from our Seattle office when the bridge is clear. The island's homes are the reason a move here needs forethought. Many sit below street level on the lake side of East or West Mercer Way, at the end of a driveway that is long, steep and often shared, with nowhere for a large truck to turn. On those jobs we use a smaller truck or park on the road and carry, and we say so in the estimate. First Hill and North Mercer have mid-century houses on flatter lots with easier access. Town Center is condos and apartments above the shops, with freight elevators and loading bays that are booked by the hour.
We also keep an eye on I-90. When WSDOT schedules a weekend closure or lane work on the bridges, we plan the loading order so the truck is off the island before the window closes, or we move the date with you.
Mercer Island moving services
Household moves within the island and to Seattle, Bellevue and the rest of the Eastside. Downsizing and senior moves from a long-time family house to a condo at Town Center or a community off-island, paced for the family and sorted room by room. Condo and apartment moves with elevator reservations and hallway protection. Office moves for the professional offices around SE 27th Street and 78th Avenue SE. Loading and unloading when you have your own truck or container. Full packing and unpacking with the boxes, paper and wardrobe cartons we bring.
Furniture is padded and wrapped before it moves, floors and door frames are covered, and any piece that has to come apart for a tight landing or a spiral stair is reassembled at the new home.
Arranging a Mercer Island move
Send the form on this page or call 206-717-7177. For an island address we ask one extra question: how a truck reaches the house. A quick description of the driveway, or a photo from the street, lets us choose the truck and the crew size before the estimate goes out.
Nearby, we cover Bellevue, Factoria, Newcastle and the Seattle neighborhoods on the other side of the bridge, so a move from the island to Mount Baker, Leschi or Madison Park is a short run for the same crew.

Questions about moving in Mercer Island
Our driveway is steep and shared. Will a moving truck fit?
Often not, and that is fine. We send a truck that fits or park on the road and carry with dollies and ramps. We decide this with you from a description or a photo before the move, so the estimate already reflects it.
Can you work around a Town Center building's elevator reservation?
Yes. Tell us the window the building gives you and we size the crew to finish loading or unloading inside it, with the protection the building requires.
Do you help with downsizing, not just the move itself?
We pack and unpack, and we can move the items that stay with the family and the items going to another household in one planned trip. Sorting and donation pick-ups are arranged by you or a service you choose.
