How much does it cost to move a piano in Seattle?
| Piano | Approx. weight | What we look at for your quote |
|---|---|---|
| Spinet / console | 300–400 lb | Compact but top-heavy. The step count and tight turns matter most. |
| Upright / studio | 400–800 lb | Moves in one piece on a board; long stair runs and narrow doorways add crew time. |
| Baby grand | 500–650 lb | Legs, lyre and pedals come off; the case rides on its side on a piano board. |
| Grand / concert grand | 650–1,200+ lb | A longer case needs more turning room and an extra set of hands. |
| Digital & player pianos | Varies | Electronics and player mechanisms get extra padding and stay upright when required. |

How do we move your piano?
Measure the Route
We check doorways, stair width and turns at both homes before anything moves.
Protect the Home
Floor runners, door-jamb pads and blankets go down on floors, frames and railings.
Wrap the Piano
Thick moving blankets cover the case, keys and lid, secured with padded straps.
Remove Legs (Grands)
Grand legs, lyre and pedals are removed and labeled so they go back exactly right.
Board & Strap
The piano is strapped to a padded piano board or a heavy-duty piano dolly.
Stairs With Control
On stairs the crew moves one step at a time, with a mover on the low side.
Load & Tie Down
A ramp or lift gate gets it into the truck, where it is tied down upright or on its side.
Reassemble & Place
Legs go back on, the piano is set exactly where you want it and checked.
Uprights, spinets, baby grands and grands — every Seattle piano move gets the full board-and-strap setup, even for a single flight of stairs.
Can you move a piano on Seattle's hills and stairs?
Queen Anne & the Counterbalance
The steep blocks around Queen Anne Avenue and the homes above the street mean long climbs. We plan for the grade, not just the stairs.
Capitol Hill & Magnolia
Older homes with porches, narrow entries and tight turns. We measure first and protect the woodwork on the way in.
West Seattle & Phinney Ridge
Hillside lots with 30 or more exterior steps are common. The crew rotates and moves the piano one step at a time.
SLU, Belltown & Downtown
Condo towers mean a freight elevator reservation, the building's move hours and a certificate of insurance. We plan around all three.
Ballard, Fremont & Wallingford
Narrow streets and alleys. We plan the truck spot ahead, and some blocks need a temporary no-parking zone.
Rainy-season moves
From October to April the piano gets a water-resistant wrap, and wet steps and decks get runners and extra care.
Why not move a piano yourself?
| Moving it yourself | With Wolves Pack Movers | |
|---|---|---|
| Weight & balance | Rented dolly, friends and guesswork | Piano boards, piano dollies and padded straps |
| Stairs | The piano rides on whoever is below it | Controlled one step at a time with a trained crew |
| Your home | Scraped floors, walls and door frames | Floor runners, jamb pads and blankets go down first |
| The instrument | Legs and lyre can snap; the soundboard can crack | Wrapped, padded and tied down for the drive |
| Your back | Real injury risk | Our crew does the lifting |
Which pianos and brands do you move?
Should you tune your piano after a move?
Wait 2–3 Weeks
A piano tuned the day after a move usually drifts as it settles. Give it time to acclimate first.
Mind the Humidity
Pianos are happiest around 40–50% relative humidity. Damp Seattle winters and dry heated rooms both stress the wood.
Choose the Spot
Keep the piano away from windows, heating vents, fireplaces and outside walls where it can.
Book a Technician
After the settling period, a local piano technician can tune it and check the action and pedals.

I am very happy with the excellent way Wolves Pack Movers performed my move. I had a difficult move with an extra lot of stuff and up three flights of stairs. The movers worked their butts off for hours. Very impressive.
Very friendly, professional, and they will work hard for you. Would highly recommend these guys!

Piano movers serving Seattle & the Eastside
Every area moves a little differently. Here's what piano moves look like around Puget Sound.
Seattle
From the Counterbalance on Queen Anne to the stair-step lots of Phinney Ridge and the condo towers of South Lake Union, Seattle piano moves are about stairs, hills and building rules. We plan each one around the step count and the truck spot.
Bellevue
Bellevue moves often mean a grand piano going into a daylight-basement home in Somerset or a high-rise near Bellevue Square. We protect the long hallways and finished floors, and we work with your building on elevator time.
Redmond
Redmond piano moves often mean townhomes with tight interior stairs or family homes on Education Hill. Uprights usually go up the stairs on a board; grands are planned room by room.
Kirkland
Kirkland's waterfront condos and hillside homes above Lake Washington call for careful truck placement and a plan for the slope. We handle the walk from the street and protect your entry.
Mercer Island
Mercer Island piano moves cross I-90 and often end in larger homes with formal living rooms and grand pianos. We take the time to set the piano exactly where you want it.
Sammamish
Sammamish homes on the plateau tend to be large, with bonus rooms and basements. Moving a piano between floors in the same house is a job we're glad to take on.
Issaquah
From the Issaquah Highlands to the hillside streets near Squak Mountain, Issaquah piano moves often involve sloped driveways. We use the right ramps and boards so the climb stays controlled.
Bothell
Bothell sits on the line between King and Snohomish counties, and many of its split-level homes put the living room up a half flight of stairs. Short stair runs still get the full board-and-strap treatment.
Shoreline
Shoreline's mid-century ramblers and the steep streets near Richmond Beach make for very different piano moves. We look at photos of your entry before move day so the crew arrives ready.
Everett
Everett piano moves range from older homes in the north end to new townhomes and church halls. Narrow porches and older doorways are measured before the piano leaves the truck.
Tacoma
Tacoma's older Craftsman homes have porches, steps and tight doorways that suit uprights and test grands. We plan the route through the house, not just the drive down I-5.
Bainbridge Island
Bainbridge Island piano moves are timed around the ferry from downtown Seattle. We plan the crossing, the drive on the island and the access at your home before we load.
