Cost and logistics
A 3-bedroom move from Portland to Seattle commonly runs $2,200 to $4,800. Because this crosses state lines, it's priced by weight and distance and regulated by the FMCSA — always get a binding or not-to-exceed estimate and verify the carrier's USDOT authority.
Prices climb in summer and at month-end. Booking a few weeks ahead and moving midweek is the simplest way to pay less on this route.
