Pet Transportation in Seattle, WA
GoGoPets Team · Last updated: April 2026
Seattle's tech workforce at Amazon, Microsoft, and hundreds of startups relocates constantly between the Pacific Northwest, the Bay Area, and Austin. Most pets in these moves are large breeds or brachycephalic dogs that airlines refuse in cargo. GoGoPets handles the Seattle corridor year-round with USDA-certified drivers, door-to-door from any Seattle or Eastside address.
Amazon, Microsoft, and Seattle's Tech-Driven Pet Transportation
Amazon's explosive growth has made Seattle one of the most active pet relocation cities on the West Coast. Employees relocating to Amazon HQ2 in Arlington, Virginia, or to Austin for other tech roles, frequently use GoGoPets. Seattle-to-Austin corridor runs $1,200–$1,500; Seattle-to-Northern Virginia runs $1,600–$2,000.
Microsoft's Redmond campus draws engineers from across the country. Incoming employees from California, Texas, and the Midwest bringing brachycephalic breeds or oversized dogs use GoGoPets when airline cargo restrictions make flying their pet impossible. Redmond and Bellevue pickups are within the same GoGoPets service zone as Seattle.
Seattle to California and the I-5 South Corridor
I-5 south from Seattle to Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles is one of GoGoPets' most traveled West Coast corridors. Seattle to Portland runs $450–$600; Seattle to San Francisco runs $800–$1,000; Seattle to LA runs $950–$1,200.
Seattle's rainy climate and mild summers generate demand from pet owners moving toward sunnier climates. GoGoPets routes from Seattle to Phoenix, San Diego, and Las Vegas are common, particularly in fall when the Pacific Northwest's gray season begins. Seattle to Phoenix runs $950–$1,150.
