As California's smallest county seat, Colusa's downtown core is only a few blocks — loading space is easy to find but tight to navigate

LOCAL MOVE BRIEF
What Changes the Plan in Colusa.
Every address is different. Access, parking, stairs, weather and timing shape the crew and equipment more than a city name alone.
Riverside streets near the Sacramento River sit inside levee-protected flood zones, which can affect road access in wet winters
Rice-farming operations surround town, and harvest-season combine and truck traffic slows Highway 20 in late summer and fall
Duck-hunting season in fall and winter brings seasonal traffic to nearby refuge roads that can affect rural pickups

The Move, Built Around the Address.
ACCESS / HOME TYPE / CREW PLAN
Addresses We Plan Around.
- Well-kept older homes in the historic downtown grid
- Riverside properties near the levee
- Rural farmhouses on rice-farm acreage
- Newer homes on the town's edges toward Highway 20
AROUND COLUSA
Neighborhoods and nearby areas already represented in the project.
Before moving day
- Check levee road status before booking a winter move on riverside streets — heavy rain can affect access
- Harvest season from August through October brings extra Highway 20 traffic; build in a time buffer
- Downtown Colusa's tight blocks make early-morning loading easiest before local traffic picks up
- Because we're just up Highway 20 from our Yuba City yard, Colusa moves are some of the easiest to schedule on shorter notice
Does Colusa's location along the Sacramento River affect moving logistics?
Some older Colusa neighborhoods near the river sit inside a levee-protected flood zone, which doesn't change how we move you but is worth knowing if you're storing anything long-term in a ground-level garage — we can talk through elevated storage options during the estimate if that's a concern.
Can a moving truck access the narrow streets of historic downtown Colusa?
Downtown Colusa's historic core near Market Street has some of the narrower, closely parked streets typical of a 19th-century river town, so for those addresses we scope truck size and parking during the estimate call rather than assuming a full-size rig can pull straight up to the curb.
How far is Colusa from Murdock’s nearest yard?
Colusa is close to our Yuba City yard along Highway 20, which keeps drive time reasonable and lets us schedule Colusa moves as part of our regular route rather than a rare special trip.
Are Colusa homes typically older construction needing extra care?
Yes — much of Colusa's housing dates from the early-to-mid 1900s given the town's long agricultural and river-trade history, so we bring the same floor and doorway protection we use on other older Sacramento Valley homes rather than treating it like newer subdivision construction.
Does the surrounding rice and farmland around Colusa affect scheduling?
During spring flooding of rice fields and fall harvest, some county roads leading into Colusa can be busier with agricultural traffic, so we build in a small buffer for rural approach roads during those seasonal windows.
