Anchorage, AK → Wenatchee, WA · Cross-country move
About 1,774 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,400–$11,010, delivery in 5–10 days, 123 carriers on the Anchorage side and 33 in Wenatchee.
Moving from Anchorage to Wenatchee is a cross-country move of roughly 1,774 road miles, heading southeast from Alaska to Washington.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $7,400 to $11,010 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 31 hours (4 driving days).
On the Anchorage side there are 123 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (34 of them authorized for interstate work), and 33 around Wenatchee (14 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Wenatchee.
Anchorage has a population of about 287,155 and Wenatchee about 36,000. Wenatchee is the denser city (3,341 people per square mile versus 171 in Anchorage), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 1,774 road miles (1,503 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 31 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Alaska into Washington makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,420 to $3,420 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,600 to $3,830. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Anchorage–Wenatchee corridor.
