Moving a Double Wide in Washington: Step-by-Step Guide

by Aug 20, 2025Uncategorized0 comments

Relocating a double wide mobile home in Washington is a much bigger project than moving a single wide. With its larger size, added weight, and more complex setup, hiring experienced professionals is crucial. Whether you’re moving your home in Tacoma (Pierce County), relocating to Vancouver (Clark County), or setting up in Everett (Snohomish County), knowing the process can save you time, money, and stress.

At Trailer House Movers, we’ve specialized in mobile and manufactured home relocations for over 21 years, making us one of the most trusted companies in Washington. Below is a clear step-by-step guide to moving a double wide.


🛠️ Step 1: Planning & Permits

The process begins with careful planning. Because a double wide is considered an oversized load, you’ll need state and county permits before transport. Movers should also check routes in Pierce, Clark, and Snohomish Counties for height and width restrictions.

🏗️ Step 2: Preparation of the Home

Before the move, your double wide must be split into sections. Movers disconnect utilities, remove skirting, and prepare the foundation. If you’re relocating within Tacoma, Vancouver, or Everett, preparation ensures the home arrives safely and is ready for reassembly.

Check our services page for details on preparation and setup.


🚛 Step 3: Transportation

Transporting a double wide requires specialized trucks and escort vehicles. Movers travel carefully across Washington highways, ensuring compliance with DOT regulations. Safety and proper handling are essential during this stage.

🔨 Step 4: Installation & Setup

Once delivered, the sections of the double wide are rejoined, leveled, and secured. Proper installation and skirting not only ensure stability but also extend the home’s life. This is where professional expertise matters most.

Learn more about installation in our About Us section, where we highlight over two decades of setup experience.


📋 Step 5: Final Inspection

After the move, a final inspection confirms that the double wide is safe, level, and fully functional. In Everett, Tacoma, and Vancouver, county officials may also inspect to ensure compliance with local codes.
