Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on moving companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
The first step in selecting a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As illustrated above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service companies. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. A self-service mover will provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have everything packed when they get there.
Some of the ways by which you might learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also check to see which movers near you meet all of Washington's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Yakima's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to pick from, you can contact them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to tell them about all of the services that you're looking for, and to verify that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

Many movers have special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required supplies on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers know the Yakima area better and can provide more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The average annual high in Yakima can get up to 55°F, and the area is in the bottom third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
