Moving to Bainbridge Island

We got a call yesterday from a moving company in New York asking for help on moving a family to Bainbridge Island. It's tricky getting moving trucks to some Washington islands so I put together a list of how we do it. (Talk to Heidi, Melonie, or Kristy about how to schedule your loading and unloading to meet the ferry schedule and what size truck to use -- there is an art to it.)
