FAQs
What else should you know about moving out of state?
A moving company helping you move out of Washington must be properly licensed and have a U.S. Department of Transportation number. Of course, all the Yakima movers we’ve included on this list have everything in order, but you can check for yourself on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.
If you’re moving from one state to another, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move document from the FMCSA.
Is it better to use local or national movers to relocate from Yakima?
Yakima offers a manageable 7 movers, compared with 75 across Washington. For local or in-state moves, that’s usually plenty to find a reliable local moving company — and we’ve highlighted the standout ones.
If you’re going further than Washington, Safeway Moving is our preferred choice for long-distance relocations.
When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Yakima?
Since demand for movers in Yakima drops in November and December — thanks to the holiday season and school commitments — you’ll have more room to negotiate with moving companies and potentially lock in lower prices.
What are the cheapest ways to move out of Yakima?
If you're staying within 50 miles of Yakima, doing the move yourself is usually the most affordable option. That includes renting a truck from companies like U-Haul or going with a moving container service such as PODS. Read our full breakdown of the cheapest ways to move out of state.
