9 of the Best Moving Companies in Kitsap County

Moving is no easy feat. Here’s your list of 9 of Kitsap County’s best moving companies. They’re here to make the load a little lighter for you.

Whether you’re moving across the country or moving across the street, it’s a ton of work. So many hours spent just packing up the kitchen. The endless cupboards of Tupperware with missing lids. Sorting through appliances and utensils you didn’t even know you had.

It takes you days to go through each cupboard, drawer, and shelf one at a time. Deciding what stays and what goes. The boxes stack up higher and higher and you’ve only just begun.

You haven’t even started going through the closets. Each one is filled with endless amounts of clothes, bags, shoes, and accessories. It never seems to end.

Make Your Move Easier

Moving is one of the top stressors in a person’s life. And you’re feeling it. You need to pack up the entire house, but you also need to work every day, care for the family, cook, clean, and stay sane. There’s a lot on your plate and you’re not sure how it’s ever going to get done.

A mover might not be able to sit with you and sort out what you should keep and what you should get rid of. They can assist with all the heavy lifting involved. And let’s be honest. That’s a big part of the job.

But before you can actually hire a mover, you need to pack (unless you’ve hired a professional organizer that will do this for you!). Here are some simple ways you can make this process efficient and effective. The wiser you pack on this end, the easier it is to unpack on the other side.

Strategies and Tips For Packing Up Your House

#1. Declutter and get rid of the junk

  • As much as you want to throw everything into a box, avoid this.
  • Before you start packing, tackle each room, closet, and storage space. Decide what stays and what goes.
  • Avoid a maybe pile. You either keep it, donate it, or throw it away.

#2. Pack items that you don’t need first

  • While this may sound obvious, let’s not assume anything. Start with the areas of the home that aren’t needed daily.
  • The kitchen, kid’s rooms, pantry, and closets won’t be on this list.
  • Once you’ve got a room that’s packed up, this is a great place to store other packed-up boxes.

#3. Label, label, and did I mention label

  • Mark each box according to what’s in it. For example, “Kitchen: Tupperware.”
  • If you know where you’re moving to, mark each box accordingly.
  • Don’t forget to mark “Fragile” when needed.

#4. Make a box(es) of items that you’ll need right away

  • This is a box that should stay with you during the move. Don’t let the movers take it.
  • If your items won’t get to your new home right away, have a box with all the essentials.
  • Items include medications, a coffee maker, a noise machine, a few plates and utensils, and so on.

#5. Keep one area in your home free of the chaos

  • This might not be possible, but if it is, make it happen.
  • Leave one area of your home free from all the moving boxes and chaos.
  • This can be as simple as keeping the kitchen table open for meals and gatherings.

These tips and tricks can get you organized as you pack so the aftermath is a little less chaotic.
