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.

Gentle Giant was great! Jared and Henri helped me move into a new place on pretty last minute notice. They were quick, efficient, and all my stuff was moved carefully and allowed me to set up at my new place quickly. Highly recommend!

Gente Giant moved me in October. Jared, ED, and Henri were amazing! They were super fast, and efficient yet careful with everything. They wrapped every piece of furniture, put everything in boxes so nothing could get damaged or lost. They ran to get the next item they were never just standing around they were always moving. Which is great since you pay movers based on the amount of time they spend on your job. They knew how to do everything, if it needed to be taken apart to move it they knew how to do that, they were just as efficient when they got to the new place. They made sure that everything was in the place I wanted it before they left. I highly recommended Gentle Giant and if you get to pick your team, (I don’t know if you can) ask for Jared, ED, and Henri. You will not be disappointed!

Gentle Giant helped our office move office fermeture across the country, Seattle to Boston. Absolutely amazing job! Quote process was easy and straight forward, no hidden fees, very reasonable. The movers were so kind, and there were a lot of them so the process went so fast. They brought their own packing material, blankets, tape, ect - everything was truly done with care. Highly recommend to anyone considering a move!

Great customer service leading up to the move. Guys on the job were professional and easy to work with. Took great care with all of our stuff. Fit everything onto a truck and made the load as painless as moving day can possibly be. Will be back next move!

My wife and I have hired professional movers several times over the years and had the full range of experiences—from nightmarish to very good. It may be recency bias, but Gentle Giant just completed our move and it might have been the best experience yet. The scheduling and estimate process was straightforward and transparent. They ended up scheduling a two-day move for what maybe could have been done in one day, but we didn’t mind. Most importantly, the crew that worked with us was the most efficient I have seen, and the final cost even came in under their estimate. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

We had a very positive experience with Gentle Giant. They communicated clearly, flagged a possible issue during the transload (one container was not available and I was then able to call the shipper and get the container pulled on time to transload), and worked incredibly hard to complete a safe and fast move for us. The crew could not have been nicer.

Monty, Henry, Josh, Steph and Ben zipped through our house and packed two 16 foot containers in record time. Everything was beautifully packed and handled very carefully. Couldn't be happier with the results, thank you!

Kenny, Henry, and Mantas were our movers and they killed it. Super nice, really time efficient, and queer friendly.It seemed like they wanted to keep everything as safe as possible and keep our bill as low as they could while working quickly. I was very impressed.It's a big recommendation from me and I'll probably use Gentle Giant again when I move the next time.

We had a local move from both a rental house and storage unit into our new home. We had a horrible experience with a cross-country moving company and were hoping this would be different. BOY WAS IT DIFFERENT...AND AMAZING! Brandon, Paul, Corey, Ryan and Josh were so professional and courteous. They walked us through every step and took care of even the smallest details. They took time to plan how to move things through our house and put down protection where needed. There was no damage at all. I can't stress how nice it was to have a team who are both excellent in doing their job but also wonderful to talk with and spend a day with. This was the best moving experience of my life and we'll be lifelong customers!
