Moving from Connecticut to Washington

Professional movers are essential for this 3,000+ mile cross-country journey to the Pacific Northwest! The northern route through the Great Lakes and mountain passes can be challenging, so you want experienced coast-to-coast movers.

You're keeping four seasons but completely changing the style! Trading Connecticut's snowy winters and humid summers for Washington's mild, rainy winters and dry summers. Think constant drizzle instead of nor'easters, and coffee culture instead of prep school culture!

If you love tech opportunities, outdoor activities, and don't mind rain, Washington's amazing! You'll trade Connecticut's East Coast sophistication for Pacific Northwest culture and mountain adventures, but potentially face similar high living costs in Seattle.

Plan 8-10 weeks total, with professional movers taking 7-9 business days for this major cross-country transport. Mountain passes can be challenging, so spring through fall timing is much more reliable than winter moves.

The distance means comprehensive insurance is crucial, and you'll want climate-controlled transport for valuable items. Also, Washington's rainy climate will affect your belongings differently than Connecticut's conditions, especially electronics and wood furniture.
