Whidbey Moving and Storage (WMS) is part of an interesting history that goes back more than 100 years. The company came from the services provided by Oak Harbor Freight Lines (OHFL) in the early 1900’s. OHFL was founded by Henry Vander Pol in 1916 and provided freight services to and from the island. In 1981 the moving and storage portion of the business was sold to Lee Bennett and Dwayne Jansen, employees of OHFL, and was named Whidbey Moving and Storage, Inc. Lee and Dwayne owned and operated the company, providing unmatched moving and storage services for the residents of Whidbey Island and surrounding areas. 35 years later, in 2016, Lee and Dwayne chose to retire and sold the company to Matthew and Connie Freeborn. Today Whidbey Moving and Storage is family and veteran owned and operated and is dedicated to providing expert moving and storage services for your family and friends!
We have been providing moving and storage services for the island and military community for over 35 years. We offer packing, pickup, delivery, and storage services anywhere within the state of Washington.
Whidbey Moving and Storage operates from our office and 12,000 sq ft warehouse located in downtown Oak harbor. We have earned a respected place within the community and plan to maintain that high level of performance
You want to make sure animals are in their cat/dog carrier prior to the movers arriving.
Animals are curious and can get underfoot. If your dog isn’t good around strangers please
have them tied up or in their carrier. The moving company cannot transport any live animal
no dogs, cats, fish or reptiles are allowed in the truck.
If you have young children it is a good idea to do the move while they are in school or
daycare. You will be busy with the movers and it will be difficult for you to give your
child the attention he/she needs. It’s a much less stressful day for you if you children
are not home on moving day.
