When you’re planning a move in Bellingham, WA, hiring the right moving labor isn’t just about getting a couple of extra hands to carry heavy boxes. It’s about finding a team you can trust with your home, your timeline, and your peace of mind. At Thumbs Up Moving Labor, our reputation as top-rated movers in Whatcom County is built entirely on the strength, honesty, and skill of our incredible crew members.
This month, we are proud to shine the spotlight on Issac Hasmi, our Mover of the Month!
Hailing from Seattle and joining our team while attending Western Washington University, Issac brings over two years of hands-on experience, a rock-solid work ethic, and a genuine passion for helping clients navigate the chaotic waters of moving day.
In this spotlight, we sit down with Issac to discuss his approach to loading and unloading truck help, his favorite "pro-mover" techniques, and his top advice for keeping your relocation stress-free.
For Issac, entering the world of professional moving help came naturally through the local community. After moving from Seattle to attend Western Washington University, he joined the team through friends he met on campus.
"I've been in the industry a little over two years now," Issac shares. "I like working with my coworkers, who have become good friends of mine, and I love being able to help out clients. Definitely the most rewarding aspect is the feeling that you've helped somebody out and showing them that I'm a reliable worker."
That drive to be a dependable, steadying presence on moving day is precisely why Issac earned Mover of the Month honors. Moving can be an emotional and exhausting experience for homeowners and renters alike. Having a crew member who treats your belongings with care and approaches every challenge with a positive attitude transforms the entire atmosphere of a move.

Even with careful preparation, moving day can throw unexpected curveballs. Whether it’s navigating steep stairs in historic Fairhaven apartments or packing a tightly packed rental truck, challenges are inevitable.
Issac believes that the key to managing high-stress situations is complete transparency.
"One big challenge is dealing with a stressed client who needs all their stuff packed up and ready to go by the end of a job," Issac explains. "My solution is being honest and transparent throughout the moving process. I let them know right away if I'm concerned about not having enough room to fit everything and give them my personal recommendations on what they should do if more space is required. That way they might still be able to get another truck or trailer while it's still business hours, before the rentals close for the day."
By catching spatial issues early and offering practical solutions, Issac ensures that clients are never left stranded after rental depots close their doors for the night.
Being one of the top labor-only movers in Bellingham requires far more than raw strength. It requires technical knowledge, spatial awareness, and proper tool handling.
Over his two-plus years on the job, Issac has mastered the art of furniture mechanics.
"I've learned a lot about how to disassemble and reassemble furniture as well as install appliances—to the point where I can look at most items and know exactly what tools I'll need for it," says Issac.
When asked about his favorite "pro-mover" secret, he highlights a surprisingly humble tool: the electric screwdriver.
"I love my electric screwdriver," he notes. "It's really handy for getting things unscrewed to the point where they can be loosened by hand so I don't risk stripping a screw that I might need for reassembly."
It’s this attention to detail that prevents damaged hardware, stripped screws, or improperly reassembled bed frames when you settle into your new home. Combined with his dedication to gym training outside of work to maintain strength and prevent injury, Issac brings a safe, efficient approach to every move.
