First Hill Movers

First Hill, known citywide as “Pill Hill” for its concentration of hospitals and medical institutions, is a north-central Seattle neighborhood that combines a major medical district with elegant residential streets, cultural institutions, and some of the best transit access in the city. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a student, or a longtime resident, Hansen Bros. Seattle Moving & Storage brings the experience and planning that a First Hill move demands.

Serving North-Central Seattle’s Medical and Residential Community

First Hill covers ZIP codes 98101, 98104, and 98122. It is the first hill encountered traveling east from downtown Seattle toward Lake Washington, a designation that shaped both its name and its history as a preferred address for Seattle’s early civic and cultural elite. Major east-west streets include Madison Street, James Street, Cherry Street, Spring Street, and Yesler Way. North-south corridors include 9th Avenue, Boren Avenue, and Broadway, where the First Hill Streetcar connects the neighborhood to the International District/Chinatown and Capitol Hill Link Light Rail stations.

Our experienced movers coordinate closely with residents, property managers, and building staff to keep every home relocation running smoothly from start to finish. The neighborhood is bordered by Capitol Hill to the north, the Central District to the east, the International District to the south, and Downtown Seattle to the west, making it a highly connected and desirable area for residential moves.

From high-rise apartments and luxury condos near Seattle Center to classic Queen Anne houses and family residences, we provide dependable residential moving services tailored to your needs. Whether you’re moving across the neighborhood or transitioning to a new home in Seattle, our team focuses on careful handling, efficient planning, and a stress-free moving experience.

A Neighborhood with Depth

Behind the medical towers on Jefferson Street, Cherry Street, and Seneca Street are residential streets worth knowing. The Frye Art Museum on Terry Avenue offers free admission to one of Seattle’s finest permanent art collections. Town Hall Seattle, a Roman Revival landmark on Seneca Street, hosts hundreds of community events each year. Madison Street’s commercial corridor, home to Vito’s and a growing number of cafes and restaurants, keeps the neighborhood connected to everyday Seattle life.

Harborview Medical Center, Swedish Medical Center, and Virginia Mason Medical Center all anchor First Hill’s identity as a major healthcare hub, and Seattle University lies just to the southeast. This institutional density means a large population of nurses, doctors, medical residents, and students who regularly need reliable moving services.

Professional Movers Who Understand First Hill’s Complexity

Elevator scheduling in residential and medical-adjacent buildings, steep grades off Boren Avenue, time-sensitive street access, and heavy foot traffic along Broadway all require careful planning. Hansen Bros. assigns a dedicated move coordinator who manages these logistics on your behalf to every First Hill client.

We handle residential moves for apartments, condos, and single-family homes; corporate and institutional office relocations; sensitive equipment moves with appropriate packing and handling; and specialty items, including artwork, pianos, and antiques.

Secure, full-service storage is available when your schedule needs flexibility. Our HB Move Management program covers decluttering, staging consultations, cleaning services, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and concierge support for unique requests.

We also serve the neighboring communities of Yesler Terrace, Westlake, Belltown, and Madison Valley. For moves across the Puget Sound region, our Seattle local movers and long-distance moving services are here for you.
