Sixty-two years in business is a real signal in an industry where companies disappear after a few bad seasons. Mountain Moving's customers consistently praise fast, efficient crews who handle belongings carefully. The complaints that show up—and they do—center on communication breakdowns when something goes wrong: damage claims that stall out and billing disputes that don't get clean resolutions. Strong mover for this route, but establish expectations around their claims process before you sign anything. State license #885643, DOT #885643.

A 92% positive rate is the highest on this list and difficult to argue with. Customers highlight communicative crews, careful handling, and genuine support through stressful transitions. The complaints that do surface tend to be around unexpected costs and inconsistent packing quality on more complex jobs—not catastrophic, but worth asking about pricing specifics before you commit. 21 years in business, DOT #2083124.

One hundred twenty-two years of operation makes Olympic the most established mover on this list by a wide margin—state license #1809 says something. Their strengths are professional crews and transparent upfront pricing. Their weakness, based on the negative reviews, is the gap between estimates and final bills, and slow claims handling when things go sideways. That said, 81% positive across 136 reviews represents a company that gets it right far more often than not. DOT #586615.

Yelp reviews · Google reviews · BBB: B-
Four hundred thirty-three reviews gives you a meaningful sample size, and 83% positive is a consistent result. Customers cite fast service, fair pricing, and professional teams—repeat customers are common. The BBB B- is worth noting, and the negative reviews echo familiar themes: damage claims that are hard to resolve and final bills that outrun initial quotes. State license #1941425, 15 years in business, DOD certified. Worth getting a quote from, but push for detailed pricing before you book.
