Moving to Washington state/How to store my

[Prospector]

Having them shipped is your best option. For packing I recommend putting them in Tupperware (or Rubbermaid, etc - anything with a really good seal). Throw in a tube of beads and some bubble pack to keep them from rattling around, put the whole thing in a box and ship. The Tupperware will protect them from damage and the Tupperware and beads will keep them from drying out for a long time due to the airtight seal; should you need to leave them with a friend to be shipped later. Just ask him/her to keep them out of the sun and in a relatively cool place.

Good luck with the move. My last one was seven years ago and it was a logistics nightmare.
