The route from Boise, ID to Kennewick, WA covers roughly 272 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.

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 $2,750 to $4,090 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 5 h 23 min.

On the Boise side there are 168 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (127 of them authorized for interstate work), and 137 around Kennewick (91 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 Kennewick.

Boise has a population of about 238,429 and Kennewick about 88,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,806 and 2,944 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Washington is a higher-cost state than Idaho, 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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Boise to Kennewick?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,320 to $1,970 for a studio, $1,650 to $2,460 for a one-bedroom, $2,750 to $4,090 for a two-bedroom, $4,400 to $6,550 for a three-bedroom and $6,050 to $9,010 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Kennewick from Boise?

About 272 road miles (230 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 23 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Idaho 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Boise to Kennewick?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $430 to $610 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,260 to $1,860. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Boise–Kennewick corridor.
