David and Dareus were my pickup agent. They was expert on making sure nothing was damaged and everything neatly packed and secured. Don’t mind hiring these two again

Vincent, Michael S and Lewa were awesome. They were meticulous and took care to ensure they wrapped all furniture. Safeguarded the glass with additional packing. (I had already packed stuff in boxes so can’t specify details there). They lined the floors and door edges and ensured nothing scrapped the wall edges/lights etc. they also waited patiently while I vacuumed before loading the vacuum cleaner as requested by me. They were polite , courteous and dedicated. I will definitely recommend... them.The only thing I didn’t anticipate is the time they took to complete- I anticipated 2 -3 hours but they worked solid5 hours. But the quality spoke for the extra time. So do keep the day free - this is not hurry and complete kind of job … more a careful- meticulous dealing.read more

The Reason People are Flocking to Tacoma

Tacoma is one of Washington’s fastest-growing cities. Much of the growth is attributed to the Home in Tacoma initiative, which allows the construction of condominiums, duplexes, and townhomes in residential areas. Tacoma is much more affordable than Seattle while offering similar Pacific Northwest amenities. 

Here are a few other notable facts about life in Tacoma:

  • A City Full of Culture: Tacoma blends outdoor adventure with big-city energy. Residents can hike or ski in the nearby Cascade Mountains, then head downtown for world-class museums, live music, and one of the country’s most iconic public markets, Pike Place.
  • Getting Around: Tacoma is served by one of the largest ferry systems in the country, connecting the city to nearby islands such as Bainbridge and Vashon, as well as a growing light rail network that links downtown to the airport and surrounding neighborhoods. 
  • Growing Careers: Tacoma’s job market leans heavily on tech and aerospace, with major employers like Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing anchoring the region alongside a strong healthcare sector.

FAQ

Local moving costs typically run into the low thousands of dollars, depending on crew size, home size, and distance. Forbes Home puts the local average around $1,544, ranging from $882 to $2,371 for a two-person crew, while long-distance moves average closer to $4,792, varying with weight and mileage. A&E Relocation Services offers transparent pricing tailored to your specific moving needs, factoring in size, distance, and any additional services.

NerdWallet recommends a home walkthrough with your mover for an accurate quote: flag fragile or high-value items, ask what they won’t transport, and video your belongings beforehand. Forbes Home also advises measuring furniture against doorways and setting up utilities before arrival. A&E Relocation Services provides an in-home or virtual walkthrough before your move, so your estimate reflects exactly what needs to be packed, protected, and transported.

The biggest warning signs usually show up before you even sign anything. Forbes Home cites a quote that is far lower than every other estimate and notes that there was no written contract before a deposit. AARP flags companies that frequently change names, lack a verifiable address, or won’t put their liability for damage in writing. A&E Relocation Services is fully licensed and insured, with a verifiable local presence and upfront written estimates, so you know exactly what to expect before move day.

Yes. There are several Tacoma moving companies that offer senior moving services. AARP describes “senior move managers” as specialists distinct from movers themselves, helping with downsizing, packing oversight, and logistics. AARP also warns of mover fraud targeting seniors, so verify a company’s physical location and be wary of unusually low quotes. A&E Relocation Services offers senior moving support with the patience and care an elderly move requires, so your grandparent’s transition is handled safely and respectfully from start to finish.

Yes, it’s commonplace for a Tacoma Moving company to be fully insured to perform moving services for a customer. At A&E Relocation Services, your move includes valuation coverage, and additional protection options are available if you’d like extra peace of mind for high-value items.
