I cannot recommend WellKnown enough. The team arrived EARLY, packed quickly, and graciously moved all of my things into my new 5th floor walkup without a single complaint.

Experienced movers for Washington ⇆ Minneapolis moves

We know the route and both cities

Our long-haul teams regularly travel on I-70, I-90, and I-94, so they know how to factor in weather, traffic, and travel time. We understand the unique characteristics of both cities — from loading regulations in Washington homes to the requirements of Minneapolis high-rises. Need a freight elevator or certificate of insurance (COI)? We'll take care of everything. We also handle moves to nearby cities such as St. Paul, Bloomington, and Maple Grove.

Experienced teams of movers

Each team has a foreman with at least three years of experience in organizing long-distance moves. All our movers are trained, background-checked, and ready to carefully lift and transport furniture, fragile items, and large appliances. Each truck is equipped with everything necessary—blankets, straps, dollies, and protective pads—to keep your belongings safe on the entire journey from Washington to Minneapolis.

Insurance: Basic insurance coverage is included in every move at no additional cost.

Flexible moving options

Before moving day, we'll discuss in detail what you're moving, what needs to be packed, and whether any items require special handling or storage. Based on this, we'll select the right team and truck for the job. You can also choose additional services, such as full packing, furniture-only transport, or a shared truck to reduce the cost of your interstate move.

Fixed price with no hidden fees

We make pricing simple and transparent. Your fixed rate will not change due to a couple of steps or a short additional stop. Only particularly heavy or non-standard items, such as pianos or large safes, may affect the final price.

 💡 A small deposit reserves your moving date, and if you cancel at least two weeks in advance, we will refund your deposit in full.

What to expect in Minneapolis

Minneapolis is full of opportunity, culture, and green space. The city has strong job markets in healthcare, technology, and education, plus plenty to do — like visiting the Minneapolis Institute of Art, walking around the Chain of Lakes, or catching a show at the Guthrie Theater.

Winters can be cold, but locals enjoy cozy neighborhoods, good schools, and lower living costs compared to DC. Areas like Edina, Roseville, and St. Louis Park are popular for families and commuters who want space without losing easy access to downtown.

Check out the official City of Minneapolis website for more information about neighborhoods and city resources.

Plan and Customize Your Move

We develop a customized long-distance moving plan and determine the timing of the move. At this stage you need to decide whether you are doing the packing yourself or using our professional packing service. If you need additional services or special pricing, we'll find out during the call.

Loading and Transportation

On the appointed day and time, we arrive at the location in Washington, DC. If a packing service has been arranged, we carry out the packing on the same day or a day or several days in advance of the move. We load all the things into the truck, wrapping and disassembling the furniture beforehand. The presence of the customer during this process is highly desirable.

Arrange On-Time Delivery & Unpacking

Then we move straight to the final location in Minneapolis, MN or make a stop at the storage, if this service has been purchased. We carefully unload all your belongings, leave them in the pre-agreed locations and collect the furniture. If arranged, we help unpack all items.

Post-Move Support

Afterward, we are available to provide counseling and help with any questions you may have after the move. If you find your belongings missing or damaged, please contact us as soon as possible. We will solve everything!

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Moving to Minneapolis with us ensures that your moving plan includes all the essential costs required by the movers. There's no need to worry about separate charges for the truck, tools, furniture assembly or disassembly, or even moving heavy items – it's all covered. We also offer flexibility with additional services: you can supply your own packing materials, or we can provide them. Plus, if you prefer, we can handle packing for specific items only. Visit our pricing page to learn more! 

Make a list of special items (or just memorize them) that movers need to pay attention to. First of all, these are heavy items (e.g. a piano, a bed, a big dresser). We need to know at least the approximate dimensions and weight. In the second place are fragile and valuable items, antiques, paintings, TV set, etc. This will help us to be better prepared. We also recommend that you clearly define whether you need additional services. If you are not sure yet, we will be happy to advise you. 

Yes, life in Minnesota is generally less expensive than in Washington, D.C. Housing, groceries, and transportation are significantly more affordable here. On average, the total cost of living is about 10% lower, and housing costs can be 15–20% lower, depending on the area. This means that your money will go further after moving to Minneapolis. 

Minneapolis combines urban vibrancy with proximity to nature. Winters here are cold and snowy, so it's worth stocking up on warm clothing and preparing your home for low temperatures. The city has many parks, bike paths, and a thriving job market, especially in healthcare, education, and technology. The Uptown, North Loop, and Edina neighborhoods offer different lifestyles, from bustling urban neighborhoods to quiet family areas. 

Weekdays, especially Monday through Thursday, are usually cheaper. On weekends and at the end or beginning of the month, moving prices increase due to high demand. Booking your move in advance and choosing a midweek date can help you save on the cost of moving from Washington, D.C. to Minneapolis.
