Great idea! I need to look into that. It's a self contained metal protective box for my basses.
We're pretty close to you. I'll be working in Everett and we're house hunting in Woodinville.
Wow! My family lives in Bear Creek in Woodinville. It's a really great area to live, and I can't wait to move back someday. If you need any "place" recommendations, let me know!
Most car transport companies allow up to 100lbs (and never check if it's more as long as the car isn't filled with boxes), so you should be good to go. Just cover stuff with a sheet if it's a windowed trunk/cargo area.
