Moving from Colorado to Washington

Professional movers work great for this 1,200-mile journey through mountain terrain. The route can be challenging with passes and elevation changes, so you want experienced movers who know how to handle both Rocky Mountain and Cascade logistics.

Major change ahead! You're leaving Colorado's 300+ days of sunshine for Washington's marine climate with way more rain and clouds. Think mild temperatures but constant drizzle instead of crisp mountain air – invest in really good rain gear!

If you love outdoor activities but want milder weather, tech opportunities, and ocean access, Washington's incredible! You'll trade high-altitude adventures for coastal and forest recreation, sunny skies for green landscapes, and craft beer for... well, even more craft beer actually!

Plan 6-8 weeks total, with professional movers taking 4-6 business days for transport. Mountain weather can affect timing, especially in winter with pass closures, so spring through fall moves are typically safer and more reliable.

Mountain passes can be challenging, especially in winter with snow closures. Make sure your movers have experience with both Rocky Mountain and Cascade conditions. Also, Washington's humidity will definitely affect your belongings after Colorado's dry climate.
