Ballard
Preferred Moving Inc. began operation in 1906 under the
name Ballard Transfer. In those days, Ballard Transfer had a
reputation not only for its ability to move objects of almost any size,
but also for being the first movers in town who owned trucks.
Today,
family-owned Ballard Transfer continues to operate out of its original
location alongside Seattle's Salmon Bay, and with it can be found the
Ballard Preferred Moving Inc. team. During the early 1980's,
former Ballard Transfer employee, John O'Connell, purchased this
division of Ballard Transfer and has since remained the company's sole
owner.
Until the creation of this website in 2010, Ballard Preferred Moving Inc. had never advertised other than by word-of-mouth.
