Golden Services adds DuPont and Silverdale to its moving coverage

Golden Services LLC expanded service into DuPont and Silverdale, Washington, adding moving, packing and storage support for communities near Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Naval Base Kitsap. The move deepens the Lakewood company’s focus on military and civilian relocations across the Puget Sound region.

Why it matters: - DuPont and Silverdale are both tied to steady moving demand from military and civilian households. - Golden Services is expanding into markets where scheduling, access and base-related logistics can shape the entire move. - The expansion extends the Lakewood company’s reach closer to Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Naval Base Kitsap.

What happened: - Golden Services LLC expanded its service area to include DuPont and Silverdale, Washington. - The company now offers residential, military, long-distance, packing and storage services in both communities. - The expansion was announced Sept. 3, 2026. - Golden Services is headquartered in Lakewood and was founded in 1992 by Ed Zielinski.

The details: - DuPont returns the company to a market tied to its origins serving military families at Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base, now Joint Base Lewis-McChord. - DuPont sits along the I-5 corridor between Tacoma and Olympia. - The DuPont Gate is one of the shortest commutes to JBLM among surrounding communities. - Coverage in DuPont includes Northwest Landing, Historic Village, Bell Hill, Hoffman Hill, Palisade Village and Edmond Village. - Silverdale is an unincorporated community and retail and commercial hub of the Kitsap Peninsula. - Silverdale is near Naval Base Kitsap, including Naval Submarine Base Bangor. - Coverage in Silverdale includes Ridgetop, Silverdale Heights and waterfront neighborhoods along Dyes Inlet. - In DuPont, many civilian moves involve new construction in Northwest Landing, where coordination depends on a builder’s completion date rather than a fixed move-out. - DuPont’s trail-connected layout can affect truck access and parking compared with a standard suburban grid. - In Silverdale, Tacoma Narrows Bridge traffic can affect move timing for jobs starting in Lakewood or Tacoma. - Local moves in both communities are billed by time and materials under Washington’s household goods tariff. - Military moves may use separate government-arranged pricing based on orders and weight allowances. - Golden Services builds written estimates from in-person or video home surveys. - The company operates three locations, employs more than 140 people and handles more than 7,000 household and office relocations a year. - As a National Van Lines agent, Golden Services also coordinates long-distance and international moves across the Puget Sound region.

Between the lines: - The expansion targets communities where military relocations and civilian housing turnover create different planning challenges. - Golden Services is positioning its sales and operations around the parts of a move that create delays, including survey timing, road access and builder schedules. - The company’s emphasis on base-adjacent communities reflects its original business model and its current regional footprint.

What's next: - Golden Services will continue serving local, long-distance and international moves from its three-location network. - The new DuPont and Silverdale coverage should broaden the company’s pipeline of base-related and civilian relocations in the South Sound and Kitsap areas. - The company’s contact and social channels remain available through its LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and Yelp profiles.

The bottom line: - Golden Services is using its military-moving background to push deeper into two South Sound markets where logistics matter as much as lifting.
