The Tech Professional's Guide to Moving in Seattle: Why Amazon and Microsoft Employees Choose Premium Moving Services

Published on
June 22, 2025

Seattle's tech boom has transformed the city into a relocation hub for professionals worldwide. If you're joining Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, or any of Seattle's thriving tech companies, your move represents more than just a change of address—it's a career milestone that deserves to be handled with the same precision you bring to your code. Our team at All Seasons Packing can help.

The Hidden Costs of Budget Moving for Tech Professionals

When you're earning six figures and working 60-hour weeks, the "cheapest" moving option often becomes the most expensive mistake you can make. Here's why busy tech professionals consistently choose premium moving services over budget alternatives:

Time Value Reality Check:

  • Average software engineer salary in Seattle: $180,000+ annually
  • That equals roughly $90 per hour of your professional time
  • Budget movers take 40% longer due to inefficient processes
  • Professional movers like All Seasons save you 8-12 hours minimum

Equipment Protection That Matters: Unlike typical household goods, tech professionals often own expensive equipment that requires specialized handling:

  • Multi-monitor setups worth $3,000-8,000
  • Gaming rigs and cryptocurrency mining equipment
  • Home server setups and network infrastructure
  • Sensitive electronics that can't withstand amateur packing

Real Client Success Story

Recently, we helped a senior engineer relocating from Wisconsin to join Meta's Seattle team. Moving from a one-bedroom apartment to a seven-bedroom house, he was overwhelmed by the logistics while trying to onboard with his new team.

Our solution included:

  • Complete packing and transport services
