Astoria, OR → Seattle, WA · Short-haul move
About 142 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,330–$3,470, delivery in 1–2 days, 11 carriers on the Astoria side and 1,037 in Seattle.
Moving from Astoria to Seattle is a short-haul move of roughly 142 road miles, heading northeast from Oregon to Washington.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 3 h 9 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,330 and $3,470, before packing or storage.
On the Astoria side there are 11 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (8 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,037 around Seattle (440 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 Seattle.
Astoria has a population of about 10,000 and Seattle about 784,777. Seattle is the denser city (8,795 people per square mile versus 1,667 in Astoria), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 142 road miles (121 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 9 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 Oregon 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 $300 to $420 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,150 to $1,690. 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 Astoria–Seattle corridor.
