Bellevue, WA → Astoria, OR · Short-haul move
About 148 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,360–$3,500, delivery in 1–2 days, 694 carriers on the Bellevue side and 11 in Astoria.
Astoria sits about 148 miles southwest of Bellevue, which makes this an interstate relocation from Washington to Oregon that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
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 15 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,360 and $3,500, before packing or storage.
On the Bellevue side there are 694 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (279 of them authorized for interstate work), and 11 around Astoria (8 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 Astoria.
Bellevue has a population of about 154,193 and Astoria about 10,000. Bellevue is considerably denser (4,533 people per square mile versus 1,667), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that Oregon does collect a state income tax, unlike Washington, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 148 road miles (125 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 15 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 Washington into Oregon 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 $430 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 Bellevue–Astoria corridor.
