Bellingham’s Hometown Mover Since 1995
For three decades, Moving & Storage Solutions has helped families and businesses across Whatcom County pack up one chapter and settle into the next. What started in 1995 as a locally owned moving company has grown into one of the most trusted names in Pacific Northwest relocation, without ever losing the hometown values that got us here.
We’re headquartered right here in Bellingham, and we service all surrounding communities, from Ferndale and Blaine to Lynden, Mount Vernon, and everywhere in between. As an interstate agent for Wheaton World Wide Moving, we also connect our neighbors to a nationwide (and worldwide) network of vetted moving professionals, so a move to Seattle, San Diego, or Singapore gets the same care as a move three blocks away.
If there’s one thing that sets us apart, it’s this: we don’t outsource the parts of the job that matter most. Our trucks, our crews, our warehouse: it’s all ours, which means when we make you a promise about a pickup date or a delivery window, our same team are the ones to follow through.
Our Story
Moving is personal. It’s about a new job, a growing family, a long-awaited retirement, or the bittersweet process of helping aging parents downsize. As a family-owned business, we’ve understood that from day one, and continue the philosophy of bringing our clients nothing but the best 30 years later.
We built Moving & Storage Solutions around a simple idea: treat every move like it’s the only one that matters that day. That means showing up on time, communicating clearly, handling belongings safely, and being honest about costs and timelines from the very first phone call. It sounds simple, but it’s the reason generations of Whatcom County families have called us back for their second, third, and fourth moves, and why so many of our new customers come from referrals.
Over the years, we’ve expanded well beyond local household moves. Today we handle everything from single-room apartment moves to full commercial office relocations, from cross-border logistics into Canada to specialized support for military families and government relocations under GSA contracts. Through all this, our values haven’t changed, and we’re still the same Bellingham-based team that actually lives here, knows these roads, and cares about our reputation.
What We Do
We built our service menu around one goal: whatever stage of life or business you’re in, we have a moving and storage solution that fits.
Local Moving
Serving Bellingham and everywhere within a 50-mile radius, our local moves are handled by our own crews and our own trucks, which gives us scheduling flexibility that moving brokers simply can’t match.
Long-Distance Moving
As a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent, we plug into one of the country’s largest networks of quality-vetted moving agents, so your belongings are tracked and cared for at every stage of a cross-country move.
International Relocation
Moving overseas involves customs, documentation, and logistics most people have never dealt with. We coordinate the details so your international move feels far less overwhelming.
Cross-Border Canada Moves
This is one of our specialties, and for good reason: Bellingham sits just minutes from the Canadian border, and few moving companies in the region have our depth of experience navigating cross-border logistics, customs paperwork, and the unique regulations that come with moving households or offices between the U.S. and Canada.
Senior Moving
Downsizing or transitioning into a retirement community is an emotional process as much as a physical one. Our senior move specialists work at a pace that respects that, with extra attention to sorting, donating, and settling into a new space.
Military & GSA Moves
We’re experienced in handling relocations for military families and government personnel under GSA contracts, understanding the specific paperwork, timelines, and standards these moves require.
Commercial & Office Moving
Downtime costs money. Our commercial moving teams plan around your business hours, coordinate IT and furniture disassembly/reassembly, and get your office up and running in its new space with minimal disruption.
- Logistics Services: Beyond moving trucks, we offer broader logistics support for businesses that need freight, warehousing, or distribution solutions handled by a partner they can trust.
Packing Services
From full-service packing of an entire household to partial packing of just the fragile or specialty items, our trained packers use professional materials and techniques to make sure everything arrives the way it left.
Storage
Need a place to keep your belongings between homes, during a renovation, or long-term? Our secure Bellingham storage facility is available for short- and long-term needs, with the same careful handling you’d expect from our moving crews.
Why Bellingham Trusts Us
Anyone can put a truck on the road and call themselves a moving company. What’s harder to build, and what we’ve spent three decades earning, is a reputation you can actually verify.
A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau: We’ve been BBB Accredited since 1998, and we’ve maintained an A+ rating throughout. That’s not a badge we bought; it’s a reflection of how we handle complaints, resolve issues, and run our business day to day.
4.6-Star Average on Google Reviews. We’re proud that families and businesses across Whatcom County consistently rate their experience with us so highly, and we read every review (good or bad) because it’s how we keep improving.
AMSA Certified ProMover. This certification from the American Moving & Storage Association is only awarded to moving companies that meet strict standards for ethical business practices, financial responsibility, and service quality. It’s one more layer of accountability on top of our own.
Wheaton World Wide Moving Agent. Our partnership with Wheaton gives our customers access to a nationwide network for long-distance and international moves, backed by one of the industry’s most established names, while every local move still runs through our own Bellingham-based team.
30 Years in Business. Moving companies come and go, especially in a market as competitive this one. Staying in business (and staying trusted) for this long is the product of an experienced team and thousands of moves done right.
Our Commitment to Our Customers
We built a few things into how we operate specifically because we know moving is stressful, and we wanted to remove as much of that stress as possible.
- Flexibility of Pickup and Delivery: Because we self-haul rather than relying entirely on outside carriers, we can often offer pickup and delivery windows that other companies simply can’t accommodate. If your timeline is tight or unusual, talk to us, and there’s a good chance we can make it work.
- Around-the-Clock Communication: Problems don’t always happen during business hours. If something comes up outside our regular hours, you can leave a message in our dedicated customer service voicemail, and our team will follow up first thing the next business day.
- Transparent, Honest Estimates: We’ll walk your home or business, ask the right questions, and give you a clear picture of what your move will cost, all before you commit to anything.
- Local Accountability: When you work with a national broker, your move can get shuffled between subcontractors you’ve never spoken to. When you work with us, you’re working with the same Bellingham company whose has been working in the area since 1995.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas does Moving & Storage Solutions serve?
We provide local moving and storage services throughout Bellingham, Whatcom County, and the surrounding areas throughout Skagit, San Juan, and Island counties. Through our agency with Wheaton World Wide Moving, we also handle long-distance and international moves originating from or arriving in the region.
Do you handle moves across the Canadian border?
Yes, cross-border Canada moves are one of our specialties. Given our location just minutes from the border, our team has deep experience navigating the customs documentation, regulations, and logistics involved in moving households and offices between the U.S. and Canada.
How far in advance should I book my move?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially during peak moving season (typically late spring through early fall) or for long-distance and international relocations that require more coordination. That said, our self-hauling capability often allows us to accommodate tighter timelines than many competitors, so it’s always worth calling even on short notice.
Do you offer packing services, or do I need to pack everything myself?
We offer full-service packing for customers who want everything handled professionally, as well as partial packing for those who just want help with fragile or specialty items. You’re welcome to pack the rest yourself, and we’ll work around whatever level of support fits your needs and budget.
Is storage available if I need a gap between move-out and move-in dates?
Yes. We offer secure short- and long-term storage at our Bellingham facility, which is useful for renovations, staggered closing dates, downsizing, or any situation where you need somewhere safe to keep your belongings between moves.
