Local Moving in Kent, Billed by the Hour
Most local moves around here are short on miles and long on details: an apartment near Kent Station to a house on the East Hill, a split-level on the West Hill to a newer home by Lake Meridian, or a rental in Panther Lake to a place in Covington or Auburn. Our Kent local movers bill by the hour for the crew and truck, so the price follows how much you’re moving and how the day actually goes.
Crews start the day at our Kent office on Central Ave S, in the middle of the valley. That keeps the drive to your door short whether you’re on Scenic Hill, out in Meridian Valley, or heading to Renton, Tukwila, Federal Way, or Maple Valley.
Matching the Crew to Your Home
A larger crew costs more per hour but finishes sooner, which often makes it the better deal on a big house. Here’s where most Kent moves fall:
- 2 movers + truck: studios and 1-bedroom apartments
- 3 movers + truck: 2-bedroom apartments and small homes
- 4 movers + truck: 3-bedroom homes
- 4 movers + 2 trucks: 3- to 4-bedroom homes
- 5 movers + 2 trucks: 4- to 5-bedroom homes
- 6 movers + 2 trucks: 5+ bedrooms and large homes

Included on Every Hourly Move
- Moving truck and fuel
- Moving blankets and shrink wrap
- Furniture disassembly and reassembly
- Floor and door frame protection
There are no stair fees, elevator fees, or fuel surcharges. Stairs and long carries only change how long the job takes.
Ways to Keep a Kent Move on the Clock You Expect
Plan around valley traffic
SR 167 and I-5 back up fast at rush hour, and the roads climbing out of the valley can crawl. An early start, or a midweek date, keeps drive time from eating into your hours.
Clear the driveway
Long driveways are common on the hills. Move cars out of the way so the truck can park close to the door and every carry stays short.
Finish packing the night before
Sealed, labeled boxes load quickly. Half-packed rooms slow everyone down. If packing is falling behind, our Kent packing services can send packers the day before.
Reserve the loading spot
Apartment complexes in downtown Kent often have assigned loading areas. Ask the leasing office about move-in rules and we’ll plan around them.
Local Moving Questions
What counts as a local move?
Moves around Kent, South King County, and the greater Puget Sound area are usually billed by the hour. Longer moves are priced as long distance, and we’ll tell you which applies when you call.
Can you move just the furniture?
Yes. Plenty of Kent customers pack and haul their own boxes and have us move only the heavy furniture, which keeps the hours down.
Are your movers employees?
Yes. Every crew is made up of full-time, background-checked Puget Sound Moving employees. We don’t use subcontractors or day laborers.
How soon can you move me?
Two to four weeks’ notice gives you the most choice, but short-notice dates are often available. Call the Kent office at (253) 852-4001 and we’ll check the schedule.
