The Seattle mover you were hoping to find on Reddit

First Due Movers was founded in 2009 by three firefighters on Seattle’s Eastside and holds a 4.9 / 5.0 average across 1,200+ reviews on Google, Yelp, and Facebook. But do not take our word for it — the whole point of your search is to verify independently, so the platform links are lower down. Read a mix of the 5-star and the critical ones and judge for yourself.

It is real. Three firefighters started the company in 2009. Not everyone on a crew is a career firefighter — many are volunteer firefighters or EMTs — but every mover is held to fire-service standards of attention to detail, professionalism, and dedication to service. It is an operating standard, not a costume.

No. All interstate operations are run entirely in-house — First Due does not subcontract drivers or labor for long-distance moves. Your belongings travel on a dedicated truck, not shared in a semi with other households, and the same crew that loads the truck unloads it. No mystery handoffs along the way.

No. Local moves are typically booked 1–2 weeks in advance, and packing services 2–3 weeks out. If any company promises a quality same-day move, treat that as a red flag. We do offer weekend availability and flexible scheduling within a normal lead time.

Licensed and insured, with WUTC permit 063862, USDOT 1990914, and MC 865709. In Washington you can look up any household-goods mover’s WUTC permit yourself — do it for us and for every other company on your shortlist. A missing or expired permit is the fastest way to spot an operation to avoid.

Not from us copy-pasting screenshots. Read them at the source: Google (4.9 / 5.0, 800+ reviews), Yelp (4.8 / 5.0, 177 reviews), and Facebook (5.0 / 5.0, 204 reviews). The links are in the section below. Cross-check a few across platforms — that instinct is exactly what sent you to Reddit in the first place.

The Seattle metro and Eastside — Bellevue, Kirkland, Renton, Redmond, Sammamish, Mercer Island, Maple Valley, Auburn, Kent, Snoqualmie, North Bend, and the surrounding communities. Long-distance moves go nationwide across the 48 contiguous states, including intrastate Washington hauls like Seattle to Spokane, Yakima, or the Tri-Cities.
