Pet Transportation in Washington State
GoGoPets Team · Last updated: April 2026
Washington State combines a massive tech workforce in the Seattle-Bellevue corridor with one of the largest military installations in the country at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Both groups relocate frequently with pets that often cannot fly cargo. GoGoPets covers Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, and the Eastside with USDA-certified drivers and routes running south to California and east to the Mountain West.
GoGoPets has completed 210+ pet transportation trips in Washington. The most active pickup city is Seattle. Popular destinations from Washington include San Francisco, CA, Portland, OR, Denver, CO.
Seattle Tech Sector and Pacific Northwest Routes
Seattle's Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing campuses drive constant relocation - both inbound from San Francisco and New York, and outbound to Austin, Denver, and Chicago. Tech employees with large dogs or brachycephalic breeds that can't fly cargo choose GoGoPets for door-to-door transport. The Seattle–San Francisco corridor (840 miles on I-5) is one of GoGoPets' busiest Pacific Coast routes.
Portland is just 175 miles south on I-5 - a quick, frequently booked GoGoPets run. Vancouver, BC moves are also coordinated by GoGoPets for the U.S. leg (Seattle to the border or from the border onward).
JBLM Military Community and Eastern Washington
Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma is one of the Army and Air Force's largest installations, generating constant PCS moves to destinations across the country. GoGoPets serves JBLM families with breed-restriction-free transport and last-minute scheduling flexibility.
Eastern Washington - Spokane, Kennewick, the Tri-Cities - is served as an extended GoGoPets coverage area. Spokane to Seattle (280 miles on I-90) is a standard intra-state route.
