Carrollton, TX → Seattle, WA · Cross-country move
About 1,966 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,030–$10,460, delivery in 5–10 days, 976 carriers on the Carrollton side and 1,037 in Seattle.
Moving from Carrollton to Seattle is a cross-country move of roughly 1,966 road miles, heading northwest from Texas 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 $7,030 to $10,460 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 34 hours (4 driving days).
On the Carrollton side there are 976 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (399 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.
Carrollton has a population of about 134,562 and Seattle about 784,777. Seattle is the denser city (8,795 people per square mile versus 3,636 in Carrollton), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,966 road miles (1,666 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 34 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 Texas 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 $2,770 to $3,910 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,770 to $4,080. 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 Carrollton–Seattle corridor.
