"Hansen Bros was recommended to us by our dad's new assisted living facility. Our two movers were great. They wrapped everything well, including a few pieces of art that I hadn't wrapped myself. They were also able to disassemble a heavy recliner that was going to be tricky to get out of a room--I didn't know it even came apart! They reassembled it at the new apartment and made sure it worked. Everything was moved with care. Overall a great experience and I will definitely use Hansen Bros again!"
"Hansen Bros. delivered the best moving experience I've ever had. From thorough pre-move communications to consistently friendly, efficient movers who treated my things with the utmost care

Before hiring a long-distance mover in Washington
Before you book a mover, use a moving checklist and compare a few written estimates and confirm that the company regularly handles interstate moves from Washington. Long-distance pricing can change based on shipment size, delivery window, and add-on services, so a little extra vetting upfront can help you avoid surprises later.
- Request at least three quotes from interstate movers
- Ask whether the estimate is binding or non-binding
- Confirm FMCSA licensing, valuation coverage, and moving insurance options
- Ask about packing, storage, and specialty-item handling before booking
- Be cautious with vague quotes or unusually large deposits

What to expect to pay for a long-distance move from Washington
For most interstate moves from Washington, prices typically range from $1,444 to $5,973. A long-distance move from Washington usually costs more than a local move because pricing is based on distance, shipment size, and the services you add.
That range is best used as a planning benchmark, not a guaranteed quote. Your final price can move up or down depending on how far you are going, how much you are shipping, and whether you need packing, storage, or specialty handling.
The biggest factors that influence long-distance moving costs include:
- Distance between your origin and destination
- Size and weight of your shipment
- Time of year and move date flexibility
- Additional services like packing or storage
Long-distance movers typically build quotes around mileage, shipment weight or volume, and service level. Extra charges often come from full packing, storage, stair carries, long carries, shuttle service, and specialty items like pianos or antiques.
If you want a detailed cost breakdown or a more precise estimate, we recommend using our moving cost calculator.

FAQs
What qualifies as a long-distance move?
A long-distance move typically refers to any relocation that covers a significant distance or crosses state lines. In a large state like Washington, even moves that stay within the state can qualify as long-distance if they span hundreds of miles.
Any move that crosses out of WA is considered interstate and must be handled by a mover licensed for long-distance transportation.
Do in-state movers handle out-of-state moves?
In Washington, a relatively large share of movers are licensed for interstate work. That means some in-state companies can handle out-of-state moves in addition to local jobs.
Even so, interstate moves involve different regulations and logistics, so it’s important to confirm that a mover regularly handles out-of-state relocations before booking.
Are national moving companies better than local movers?
It depends on the distance and complexity of your move. For longer interstate relocations, national moving companies often have pricing structures and logistics designed specifically for long-distance transportation.
Local movers in Washington may also handle interstate moves and can offer different availability or service styles. The right choice depends on how far you’re moving, your timing, and what level of flexibility you need.
Can labor-only movers help with a long-distance move?
Labor-only movers focus on loading and unloading rather than transportation. In Washington, a portion of moving companies offer labor-only services, which are commonly used alongside rental trucks or moving containers.
While labor-only help can be useful for parts of a move, interstate relocations still require a licensed long-distance moving company to handle transportation across state lines.
Based on our data, 48% of movers in Washington advertise labor-only services, compared to 55% nationwide.
When is the best time to schedule a long-distance move?
Summer is typically the busiest season for long-distance movers, which can limit availability. If you have flexibility, moving in the shoulder seasons or on weekdays can make scheduling easier.
The best time to book is as soon as your dates are firm, especially for longer routes.
