Augusta, GA → Kent, WA · Cross-country move
About 2,705 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $8,270–$12,300, delivery in 7–14 days, 200 carriers on the Augusta side and 646 in Kent.
Moving from Augusta to Kent is a cross-country move of roughly 2,705 road miles, heading northwest from Georgia 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 $8,270 to $12,300 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 47 hours (6 driving days).
On the Augusta side there are 200 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (127 of them authorized for interstate work), and 646 around Kent (317 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 Kent.
Augusta has a population of about 201,999 and Kent about 134,871. Kent is the denser city (4,041 people per square mile versus 668 in Augusta), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington is a higher-cost state than Georgia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 2,705 road miles (2,292 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 47 hours (6 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Georgia 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 $3,830 to $5,410 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,430 to $5,050. 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 Augusta–Kent corridor.
