The Cost of Hiring Movers in Tacoma, WA
On average, it costs $403.14 to hire moving helpers in Tacoma, WA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Tacoma, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $91.47.
These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.
The Cost of Full-Service Moving
The average cost of a local full-service move in Tacoma, WA is $975.62, with an average hourly rate of $126.81. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.
Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

AAA Allstar Movers have been wonderful! This is our second time using them and both times the crews have been kind, professional and helpful! I highly recommend them!
Very nice and polite men, super helpful. They managed to fit all the furniture of my 1 bed apartment in a container I did not think would fit! Both efficient and finished in about an hour. Highly recommend!!
The 3-young men whom I personally dealt with, after talking my wife off of the ledge," were "Great." First day, our Pods container did not arrive. "Shavohn(sp) and crew" told us that they would be back the following day, don't worry. They Were back the next day. Early and ready. They worked their tails off. If y'all could send that crew from Washington down to Texas, that would be great.
I have to be candid with this review. They were two hours late, and it created a whole stressful situation. HOWEVER, they did their absolute very best to make up for it and even brought extra help to make sure we don’t get charged for extra time. Better protocols should be in place between them and the movers themselves, but at least it worked out okay in the end.
Great work. Very quick. Listens to directions regarding special handling of boxes. Communicates well. Gave a good heads up before arriving. Would use again.
The loaders were very efficient and had deep knowledge of how to position my stuff into the relocubes to maximize space. They were on time, courteous and hard-working. And very respectful of my furniture and walls.i highly recommend them!
Masoud & Ahmed were awesome! We greatly appreciated the flexibility when pack rat messed up and didn’t drop off the pod until later that day. These guys showed up the next day, fit us in and got everything moved. Thanks!
Prompt and professional! The movers at Come On I Wanna Move Ya were quick and courteous. They arrived early (at our request) and had no trouble unloading everything we requested in the time allotted. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing unloading help!
They did a fantastic job. They were right on time and the guys were very fast, efficient in their packing (very important when you're paying by the linear foot!), and very friendly. Their job is extremely difficult, and I appreciate how hard they work. I will absolutely recommend them to anyone else that needs moving labor assistance!
Mike and Pete were FANTASTIC! We had never used a moving company due to the fear of having our furniture or home damaged in the process. These two men dispelled that theory. Whenever we are in need of movers again, we will certainly call on them. Thank you isn't enough!
Very personable and knowledgeable, super efficient on packing the pod and hard worker. He accomadated my needs in very short notice when I found myself in a bind . I will highly recommend Michael and this partner.
They did a very good job at packing the pod and wrapping the furniture. Once they arrived they went straight to work. Very professional . I will say that I was their first appointment of the day and they were over an hour late which put me over an hour late to work.
