Company information

Gentle Giant Moving Company stands out in Seattle's competitive moving landscape through their unique approach to hiring and training. Operating from their Washington locations since 2008, they've built something different - a team they call "Giants" who stick around for decades rather than the typical high-turnover crews you see elsewhere. What makes them special isn't just their 100% satisfaction guarantee, but how they actually deliver on it. Their Seattle crew knows every neighborhood from Belltown high-rises to Capitol Hill bungalows, handling everything from single-item moves to full household relocations. Unlike many competitors who subcontract long-distance jobs, Gentle Giant uses only their own employees throughout the entire process. They've earned recognition as the official moving partner for major Seattle events like the Windermere Cup Regatta, plus they offer climate-controlled storage and specialized services like piano moving through their Allston Piano division. Founded back in 1980, this family-owned business has grown to 20+ locations while maintaining their original commitment to skilled, professional movers who treat your belongings like their own.
