Moving Instructions
All Tenant moves—into, out of, or within the building—must be coordinated with the Property Management office. Please notify the Property Management office of your proposed moving date at least five (5) business days in advance. The moving contractor should also contact the Property Management office so that use of the freight elevator can be scheduled, access cards can be issued if necessary, and Security can be notified.
All moves should be undertaken during non-business hours to simplify access to the building and minimize any inconvenience to Tenants. The Property Management office will attempt to accommodate your schedule in every way possible if a non-business hour move is not achievable.
The moving contractor must provide evidence of liability insurance coverage which meets the requirements of contractors working in the building at least five (5) days prior to the day of the move.
Moving Procedures
Review Loading Dock and Freight Elevator polices before planning any move into, within, or out of, the building.
Schedule the use of the freight elevator by contacting the Property Management office at 206-744-6526 well in advance of the move. This is a very busy dock and reservations are made on a first come, first served basis.
Moving “start time” means arrival time on-site. Moving trucks may park in the Loading Dock and begin staging for the move no earlier than 6:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday and at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
In consideration of other Tenant moves, please do not book the freight elevator for longer than needed. If moving schedules change, contact the Property Management office with revisions.
Leave the keys to your vehicle in the Security office on the Loading Dock. Your vehicle may be moved by building staff to maintain operations. Only one vehicle may be unloaded/loaded on the dock at one time.
Tenants must provide a telephone number in the building where they can be reached during the move. Provide a cellular phone or pager number whenever possible.
Please be respectful of express delivery companies (FedEx, DHL, UPS, etc.) and building service providers (staff, Security, janitorial, etc.) that require a ride on the freight elevator. These deliveries and services are time-sensitive for all Tenants. Be sure to share a ride whenever possible.
The Seattle Fire Code requires that all means of egress from the building be kept clear of obstruction materials. A clear pedestrian passageway four feet wide must be kept in the Loading Dock corridor and doorway at all times.
Clean ¼” thick Masonite sections must be used as runners on all finished floor areas where heavy furniture or equipment is being moved with wheel or sled type dollies. If 32” sheets of Masonite are used, they must be taped together to prevent sliding.
All walls, door facings, elevator cabs, and other areas along the delivery route will be inspected by the moving contractor, accompanied by Property Management staff, before and after the move at the discretion of the Property Management office. The moving contractor will provide and install protective coverings, as deemed necessary by Property Management, along the route of the move. Property Management reserves the right to be present at all moves.
Any damage to the building or fixtures caused by the move will be repaired by Property Management and paid for by the moving contractor and/or Tenant.
Only the freight elevator will be used for moves, unless prior approval is granted by the Property Management office to use designated passenger and/or garage elevators.
The moving contractor will remove any trash or refuse generated by the move from the building on the same day of the move.
