Coast and canyon moves
Canyon drives and PCH access make staging the first decision, so moving labor in Malibu plans truck position, permits and gate calls before loading starts. The 10,654 residents get padded wrapping, furniture pads and an hourly meter that stops when the last piece is placed, with terrace rates quoted up front.
The Chumash named the area Humaliwo, the surf sounds loudly, and the city incorporated March 28, 1991 along 21 miles of coastline backed by the Santa Monica Mountains. Canyon logistics shape the day: loads stage once, tide and traffic hours are dodged, and the meter reflects real work, not a hunt for a curb.
