What the registration shows
Octopus Movers is registered as an intrastate carrier, meaning it is set up for moves that stay within Washington. It does not need interstate authority for those moves, but it cannot legally carry a move to another state. For in-state moves, Rules for moves that stay within Washington vary. Some states license or register household-goods movers through their transportation department or public utilities commission, while others don't. Ask the mover for any Washington license or registration number and check it with the issuing agency, or ask the Washington attorney general's consumer protection office. For moves to or from another state, the mover must be registered with FMCSA and hold interstate household-goods authority.
With 2 trucks, Octopus Movers is one of the smaller registered movers in the Seattle area (the median is 2). Smaller companies can offer more personal service; ask about availability in peak season.
