We are planning to move to Seattle from Texas. Should we have a mover to piggy back our 2001 Honda there also? It cost 1500 dollars. Is the waether ok for a Texas car?

How does a car from Texas differ from a car from Washington? Your car will be fine. I see cars from Texas here all the time due to our large military population.
Whether or not you want to pay the $1500 to move your car up here is up to you. What are your other options? Are you going to sell your car in Texas and buy one when you get here? Are you planning on buying a new car anyway and would rather wait until you get here?
Are you hiring a moving truck to bring your things here or are you going to do the moving yourself? If you're planning on renting a moving truck U-Haul has car dollies that you can tow behind their trucks so you can bring your car with you. I'm not sure what their rates for a car dollie is but I'm sure it's less than $1500.
Regardless of what you choose to do, you will need to have a car in Seattle. The public transit system is improving, but isn't that great. Most people here drive rather than taking the bus.

The summers are cool and it snows in winter (but not like the northeast). Is it worth it to spend $1500 to move the car? It's up to you. You'd have to calculate how much gas you would use, how much your time is worth and how much the motels would cost. You might be able to get an auto transporter (look in the yellow pages) to give you an estimate. You will need a car to get around Seattle. There's too much distance to cover by bus. Well, you probably already have some experience with that in Texas. BTW, the groceries are really really expensive in Seattle. But you probably already knew that when visiting Seattle.

I brought my car to Seattle from New Mexico (a 95 Kia) 10 years ago and it's still doing great. Don't worry about the weather, in other words. then again, I keep mine in a garage, unlike most folks around here in WA. Whether it's worth it to tow it up here for 1,500 dollars depends on how attached you are to it, I guess.

you're able to have the want to make particular that the automobile meets u . s . a . risk-free practices and emission criteria and could then ought to pay import taxes on it by way of Customs on the Canadian border crossing. it is going to maximum possibly fee extra interior the long-term than identifying to purchase one domestically. solid success
