A few things move the number on a Portland-to-Seattle move:
A typical 2-bedroom move from Portland to Seattle runs $3,075–$3,700, based on the roughly 181 miles between them. Smaller studios start lower and larger 4-bedroom homes cost more, and your final price depends on how much you move plus services like packing.
The move takes about 1–2 days in transit by truck. Long-distance carriers give a delivery window rather than a fixed day, so build a little flexibility into your plans.
Rates are lowest in the fall-through-spring off-season and highest in summer and at month-ends. A mid-week, mid-month date on this route usually books cheaper and with more carrier choice.
For a long-distance move like Portland to Seattle, a full-service carrier prices by weight and mileage and handles the drive; a DIY truck rental can be cheaper for a light load but means doing the driving and loading yourself. Use the calculator to compare against your quotes.
