The Portland metro holds around 2.5 million people and encompasses a wide range of urban and suburban areas. With the Columbia River to the north, the Willamette River bisecting the city, and enough forest lands nearby, the area is a paradise for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors.
And while Portland is the main draw, there are several areas surrounding the city that appeal to individuals and families alike. And Smooth Move People provide moving services to each and everyone one of them. Whether you’re moving into a high-rise apartment in downtown or a three-bedroom ranch in the suburbs, we’ll take care of your stuff.
