Bloomington, IL → Tacoma, WA · Cross-country move
About 2,027 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,360–$10,960, delivery in 5–10 days, 31 carriers on the Bloomington side and 823 in Tacoma.
Moving from Bloomington to Tacoma is a cross-country move of roughly 2,027 road miles, heading northwest from Illinois 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 $7,360 to $10,960 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 35 hours (4 driving days).
On the Bloomington side there are 31 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (20 of them authorized for interstate work), and 823 around Tacoma (399 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 Tacoma.
Bloomington has a population of about 79,000 and Tacoma about 229,816. Tacoma is the denser city (4,413 people per square mile versus 2,902 in Bloomington), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington is a higher-cost state than Illinois, 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 2,027 road miles (1,718 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 35 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 Illinois 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 $2,830 to $4,000 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,830 to $4,160. 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 Bloomington–Tacoma corridor.
