Pros of Moving from Washington to Idaho
✓ Thriving Economy and Low Unemployment
In 2020, Idaho was ranked 3rd in the United States for its economic outlook. So, moving here, you don’t have to worry about not being able to find a new job especially if you’re moving to Boise. The unemployment rate here is only 6.7% while Washington State has 7.1% as of the latter part of 2020.
✓ Low Crime Rate
The low crime rate is another thing you’ll enjoy living in cities like Boise, Idaho. The state, on the whole, has only 2.24 crime incidents per 1000 people while Washington State has 29.76, which is higher than the average.
✓ Competitive Housing Prices and Lower Cost of Living
The median home price in Idaho is $263,900. On the other hand, the median home value of homes in Washington is $478,015. On top of the below-average real estate in Idaho, income, sales taxes, and grocery and utility costs are also among the cheapest in the country.
✓ Good Accessibility
As long as you can bear the traffic congestion that usually takes place during the morning and evening commute, you’ll find Idaho very accessible. Whether you choose to live in Meridian, Boise, or Pocatello, it may only take you 15 to 30 minutes to drive across the town.
Cons of Moving from Washington to Idaho
✗ Harsh Winters
While four seasons is a pro, in a way, it can also be a con, especially for those who are not used to cold weather!
✗ Limited Shopping Opportunities
If you like shopping for luxury brands, then you may have to get out of the state or order online to get what you want. While you can enjoy the presence of stores like Home Depot and Walmart in many Idahoan cities, that’s just about that.
✗ The Infrastructure Needs Some Work
While this can be considered a good thing as it gives more work to people, some of the infrastructures in many places in the state need a lot of work.

Booking Poseidon Moving services couldn't have been easier and the attention given couldn't have been topped. Oleg was a great communicator and we got plenty of emailed information on what to expect moving day and how to best prepare for it. On moving day, communication with the moving crew was clear and concise. The moving team was careful with our belongings and efficient moving things out and into our new place. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Poseidon just moved my furniture from Boston to San Francisco, and they did an amazing job. They took great care packing my furniture with padding and blankets, and everything arrived in perfect condition. They stuck to their pick-up and delivery dates, and the upfront pricing was spot on—no surprise charges. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

They are a thouroughly professional team at affordable price. We can rely on them and they are flexible enough with our travel plans. I opted for full packing, they patiently listened and attended to each of household items with care. I can recommend them to any. They ease your tensions and get things done one time. I am always grateful to this team

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.
Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.
If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.
Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”
This includes:
- •Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
- •Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
- •Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
- •Living things, including plants, fish, and pets
We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.
Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.
Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.
Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:
- ✓Mounted TVs
- ✓Artwork and mirrors
- ✓Shelving
- ✓Window air conditioners
Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.
If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.
Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.
- ✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
- ✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.
Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.
- ✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
- ✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
- ✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly
If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
