Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin. We run this route monthly — retirees, no-income-tax migrants, hospitality industry. Written estimate, same crew start to finish.
No state income tax is the headline reason. For a working professional or a retiree drawing down 401(k) and brokerage accounts, the annual savings versus Washington's tax mix often pays for the move itself in the first year. Lower property taxes and lower housing prices reinforce the math — especially for households trading a 3-bedroom Eastside home for a larger Henderson or Summerlin equivalent.
Retiree communities are the second draw. Sun City Summerlin, Sun City Anthem, and Solera at Anthem are purpose-built for downsized empty-nesters and snowbirds — golf, clubhouses, HOA-managed maintenance, and the kind of single-story floor plan that takes Seattle's stairs out of the picture.
The third pattern is hospitality industry — gaming, food and beverage, and resort operations workers relocating into the Vegas metro. And growing alongside both is a tech-worker migration tied to the Vegas tech corridor and cybersecurity firms expanding south of California.
Approximately 1,180 miles via I-5 → I-84 → I-80 → I-15. Most loads complete door-to-door in 3–5 days.
Donner Pass in winter is the one weather consideration — the I-80 section across the Sierra Nevada can require chains or close briefly during major storms. Mojave heat in summer affects load planning for fragile items but doesn't slow transit. Outside those two windows, this is one of the cleanest interstate runs we make.
We've driven Seattle-to-Vegas hundreds of times. Our founder runs it personally 10–15 times each year — one of the highest-volume routes we operate.
Central metro — Spring Valley, downtown, the Strip-adjacent neighborhoods, and the high-rise residences along the resort corridor.
Las Vegas's largest suburb. Sun City Anthem, Green Valley, MacDonald Highlands — gated-community moves with HOA-coordinated access.
Master-planned community in the northwest valley. Sun City Summerlin is the retiree anchor we move into most often, along with The Ridges and The Mesa.
Surrounding metro — family suburbs, downsized retiree moves, and the occasional Boulder City lakefront.
Long-distance moves are quoted based on weight, distance, packing scope, and access at both ends. We provide a free written estimate after a brief walkthrough — usually within an hour of your initial call.

Family-sized homes leaving the Eastside for Henderson or Summerlin to capture the Nevada tax picture. Often with a home-office build-out and a multi-vehicle component.
Smaller apartment and condo moves into the Vegas metro tied to gaming, food and beverage, and resort operations work. Shorter timelines, often packing included.
Vegas is one of our highest-volume routes. Most common move is a 3- or 4-bedroom Eastside house going to Henderson or Summerlin, often with two cars on the truck. We've done Sun City Anthem and Sun City Summerlin enough times that we know their HOA access procedures by heart.
