About Seattle

Seattle is nicknamed the “Emerald City” because it is filled with greenery year-round. An abundance of rain keeps the city green throughout the warmer seasons, and it stays this way even during the winter months due to the many evergreen trees located throughout the city and surrounding areas. Admired by many nature enthusiasts, the backdrop to the city is abundant forests and mountains, and it is nestled between the Puget Sounds and Lake Washington. This makes it an ideal launching point to explore the natural beauty of the Pacific Northeast. It’s no surprise that there are currently over 730,000 people living within the city limits.

Seattle has something for everyone, and it’s easy to see why it is a popular destination. The city hosts numerous coffee shops (the home of Starbucks), breweries, and trendy restaurants. There are several interesting and iconic attractions including the Space Needle, Discovery Park, Chihuly Glass Garden, Museum of Flight, and the famous Pike Place Market. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy the Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken games or watch the Windermere Cup Regatta hosted by the University of Washington every spring. Seattle is also known for being one of the fastest growing technology hubs in the United States and is most famously home to both Amazon and Microsoft.

How much do I love Gentle Giant? Let me COUNT the ways from how much money I saved and the fantastic experience I had!My coordinator - Rachel - helped navigate a very tricky situation with last minute construction issues with the new house and really pulled out the stops for getting my needs seen to.The head mover for my move was fantastic both days for both pickup and drop off and the crew was friendly, courteous, and fast! I was quoted 3500$ for the move for time and after all was said and done ended up spending closer to 2700$, even with a slight delay because the appliance delivery arrived exactly 3 minutes before them.Crack team, very professional, if I ever have to move again I will definitely use them!

I have done my fair share of moves, both local and across various states, and this is by far the best moving company I’ve ever used… by a landslide.First, I called for a quote to move from Seattle to SF and instead of having me take inventory, they ended up sending someone (I had a 4 bedroom home) to give me an estimate so I wouldn’t be surprised (quote and actual payment were not far off at all). Next, they worked with me to get my furniture to San Francisco within a couple days since we needed our furniture ASAP (both my husband and I work and we have a 7 month old baby so we needed our belongings right away).The move went as seamless as I could have hoped for. They sent enough movers (which has always been an issue in the past), wrapped/dismantled everything with care, and kept me updated along the way. There was no stress for such a big move, they took all the anxiety out of moving.My furniture arrived in SF early in the morning (the team contacted me to give me an ETA) and the team was extremely quick and careful. They checked in with me on everything and were just so incredibly kind and respectful.I will use General Giants for all my moves going forward. From the sales team, to the driver, to the moving teams, to quality control - every department was just awesome. Every person I met was just so kind and went above and beyond!

I have 9 times in 18 years. Some moves more successful than others but none of them were especially great. After a disaster with a company hired to pack my house, a friend recommended Gentle Giant. Wow! Drew, Erik, David, and Kellan were outstanding and were equally focused, clearly knew what they were doing while making boxes for odd sized pieces, and worked with an efficiency that allowed for a reliable completion time. They helped me finish repacking the boxes packed by the original movers and had no complaints about my random OK collection of Amazon boxes and other odd sized containers. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

The crew was excellent. They moved everything quick and took care with each box and furniture piece. They had all the equipment they needed to cover anything I might have missed, and walked everything through with me at each phase to make sure they had everything correct. At the destination they put everything back together again and even moved some furniture around to different spots to fine tune some of the furniture placement. Would hire them again every time.

I'm late writing this review! I had Monty, Joe, Johnny, and Jonas move my family from our four bed house in Seattle on August 19th and they were excellent - the best movers I've had. They were quick, communicative, and careful. All of our stuff moved safely and on time and we came in slightly under the quote. Very good experience overall - will definitely recommend Gentle Giant to friends.

Gentle Giant did an incredible job moving myself and my bf into our new home today. Our crew was Mantas, Jonas and Arijus. The whole process from scheduling to finish was efficient, timely and professional. The team showed up right when they said they would and really put muscle into getting through our items quickly while taking care that everything was handled properly.I'd highly recommend Gentle Giant to anyone looking to move locally, and will absolutely use them again myself in the future should the need arise. Thanks guys!!!

Alex, prior to the move was excellent to work with. Drew and his Crew on the day of the move were outstanding. I would highly recommend this Company over many others that I have dealt with in the past.
