Moving Life Forward The Golden Way

Golden Services LLC is your trusted partner for seamless and stress-free moving experiences. We are dedicated to providing top-tier moving and logistics solutions, ensuring the safe and secure transport of your valuable possessions. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction helps make every move smooth, efficient, and worry-free.

Founded in 1992 by Ed Zielinski, Golden Services LLC began with a simple mission: to provide personalized, high-quality moving services to the military families stationed at Ft. Lewis and McChord AFB in Washington. From the very beginning, our philosophy has been to treat every customer’s household goods with the same care and respect as if they were our own.

This philosophy is what we call “The Golden Way.” It’s the standard that guides how we treat our customers, their homes, and their belongings—with honesty, professionalism, and the highest level of care. The Golden Way is more than a motto; it’s a commitment that our team carries into every move we perform.

What started as a small operation with a single warehouse, a modest office, and a handful of moving trucks has grown into Washington’s largest moving, storage, and port services provider. Today, Golden Services LLC operates three locations with a dedicated team of more than 140 employees. Each year, we proudly manage more than 7,000 household and office relocations, serving military families, residential customers, corporate clients, and businesses across the region and beyond.

While our company has grown significantly over the years, our core values have remained the same. We believe exceptional service starts with strong relationships—with our customers, our employees, and the communities we serve.

Colin and Randy were 10/10 five star movers. They were on time and super friendly. They knew the answers to all my questions. I was more than comfortable trusting them with our items. Would definitely recommend them

Tiffany, Peter and Frankie were the best!! I've never used a professional mover before and was a nervous Nelly due to hearing such terrible stories about damage or bait-and-switch pricing. Tiffany was extremely kind and patient with all of my questions and did her best to provide an accurate quote. It came in lower than many of their competitors yet the service couldn't have been better. The movers, Peter and Frankie, were extremely professional, efficient and careful with my personal belongings. If I ever find myself needing to make an out-of-state move again, I'll definitely book Golden Services!

Colin, Cadence, Vince are friendly and get job done fast, very careful and cautious, ask question about where to put things and explain when asked. This is my first move, and had a great experience.

I had an excellent experience with Timothy and Vince from Golden Moving Services handling my household goods. As someone in the military, moving can be stressful, but they made the entire process smooth and worry-free. They were extremely hardworking, professional, and handled all of my belongings with great care. Their packing was top-notch—everything was organized, secure, and arrived without any issues. They went above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. I really appreciate their attention to detail and positive attitude throughout the move. I highly recommend them to anyone - especially military members- looking for reliable and efficient movers.

The moving crew reinstated trust in this company!26 years of service. This was my first time experiencing severe communication challenges. I scheduled my move 3 months in advanced. Dates for my pack out were never confirmed. Greg DeLano calls the day before to inform me that the crew will be arriving between 8-10. I was not ready. I was expecting to work directly with Golden to reschedule but instead he had me call JPPSO, JPPSO advised me to work with Golden. SUPER FRUSTRATING. “Give me my pickle Greg” it’s near the peak of PCS season so I took the opportunity to talk to my peers and co workers that will be moving soon to advise them NOT to use this company. After so many emails and phone calls my dates are rescheduled.UB date. Whitney and Mike plus one more arrive. They were very professional and handled my belongings with care. 💕Then comes the day I get to meet the infamous Greg DeLano to do my HHG walk through. I was hoping for someone else but you get what you get. In my mind I wanted to expedite the process because I was expecting an unpleasant visit. I have to say he’s better in person than over the phone. 👍 I will also say he did redeem himself when I reached out to confirm dates because once again that piece was missing. I received a phone call from Central Van right away. Thank you Greg 😊HHG pack out day. Whitney plus one more arrive. Our day was very well orchestrated. They each packed a section while I was able to deep clean. It was a pleasure working with them.HHG Pick up day. This was the best experience of them all. Isaac, Jason and Mike arrive. I appreciated that it was easily identified who the leader of the pack was. Isaac was giving direction to the crew from the moment he step foot in the house. His leadership qualities enabled for a smooth day without confusion or chaos. Isaac went above and beyond expectation! I appreciated that he took time to constantly check in with me. He’s a true professional and a people’s person. It didn’t take long before he had me feeling like I was part of his team. We chatted while they worked and we were able to connect due to his previous Naval experience. He truly understands the pressure of PCSing which allowed for me to feel confident that my HHG are in good hands. Isaac reassured me constantly and reinstated faith that your company truly cares about their customers. Thank you Golden!
