Affordable Small Apartment Moving in Seattle

Moving a 1-bedroom apartment in Seattle shouldn’t require a massive truck, three movers, and a $900 minimum. If you’re searching for “1 bedroom movers Seattle” or “small apartment movers near me,” you’ve found the team that specializes in exactly what you need—fast, affordable 1 bedroom move service without the unnecessary extras. Visit our homepage for more details.
TymLi Errands handles 1 bedroom moves across Seattle with flat pricing, same-day availability, and no 4-hour minimums. We’re the small move company that takes the jobs big moving companies ignore.
Why Small Moves Need a Small Move Company
Traditional moving companies are built for whole-house relocations. They arrive with 26-foot trucks, three-man crews, and expect to fill 4–6 hours of labor. When you only need help moving a 1 bedroom apartment or studio, you’re paying for capacity you don’t need.
We built our service specifically for 1 bedroom move Seattle clients who need:
- Affordable small move WA pricing that reflects the actual job size
- Same day small move Washington availability for urgent relocations
- Studio to studio move expertise without corporate overhead
- Transparent quotes with no hidden truck fees or fuel surcharges
Our team understands that a 1 bedroom apartment move is fundamentally different from a 3,000-square-foot house. We bring the right-sized vehicle, the right crew, and the right pricing structure.
Flat-Rate Pricing for Seattle 1 Bedroom Moves
We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing for Seattle 1 bedroom moves. Tell us what you’re moving, where it’s going, and any stairs or challenges involved—we’ll give you a clear price before we arrive.
No hourly minimums. Zero surprise charges. No mandatory 4-hour bookings when your move only takes 90 minutes.
Most Seattle 1 bedroom moves fall into these categories:
- Simple studio to 1 bedroom: Bed, dresser, couch, boxes, small items
- Furnished apartment relocation: Full 1 bedroom with kitchen items and decor
- Partial move: Just the heavy furniture while you handle boxes yourself
- Marketplace furniture addition: Adding purchased items to your existing space
Each job gets personalized attention because we’re not trying to maximize hours—we’re trying to solve your problem efficiently.

Big Movers Don’t Handle These Jobs — We Do
Big movers require $900+ minimums, 3-man crews, 5-hour slots. We handle fast, affordable 1-bedroom and studio moves with flat pricing. We do the small, urgent, one-item jobs big companies ignore.
When you call a national moving chain about a 1 bedroom move, you’ll often hear: “Our minimum is 4 hours,” or “We can schedule you three weeks from now.” They’re not equipped for small, urgent moves because their business model doesn’t support it.
TymLi Errands exists specifically for these jobs:
- The 1 bedroom move that needs to happen today
- The studio relocation that doesn’t justify $800+ in moving costs
- The small apartment move where you just need help with the heavy stuff
- The urgent move where traditional movers are booked out for weeks
