Let's face it -- moving sucks. For the first time in over a decade, I was moving to a more residential area, which meant trying to figure out: how the heck do I get the movers in there?!
Luckily I found National Barricade, which, in addition to offering the full suite of services (from permitting to putting up the no parking signs to removing them) happens to be THE friendliest company I've maybe ever dealt with in Seattle. I called with appx 2847 questions and the folks on the phone were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Seriously, who knew working at a barricade company meant you are just the nicest people in this city?!
I ended up opting to get the permits myself and picking up the barricades there ($55). The staff placed them in my car for me, which is when I realized how heavy those things are! A few days after my move, I called to see if they would pick them up for a small charge (exhaustion from the move + heavy signs + traffic = what can I do to make this easier?) I think it was $18 (a bargain!) to have them come pick up the signs in lieu of me loading them back into my car and returning them myself.
I hope to never move again (see above -- I hate it!) but if you need those No Parking signs in this city, National Barricade is the answer. (Seriously, thank you!)
I ran out of water while playing basketball on a hot August day. Walked over as they were closing down and asked to please refill my water - they took me inside and let me use their very nice filter system. Just a little thing, but they were pleasant and neighborly. I appreciated their kindness! I wish them the best. No idea how they are as a business, but the people are good. Thank you

I was moving from out of state and needed barricades for my moving pod. I contacted National Barricade about if they offered set-up of barricades (they did) and the whole process was stress-free (they applied for the permit + set up the barricade on time while I was still out of state). Could not recommend more to make your life easier! They were so easy to work with.
I rented some no parking signs through National Barricade recently. It was a new process for me and all the staff I interacted with did a great job of walking through everything. I'll note that the location is huge! Definitely an experience within itself if you haven't been. Though I don't anticipate needing no parking or construction signs anytime soon, I'd definitely recommend this business if you do.
