Reverse: Tacoma → Colorado Springs

Tacoma sits about 1,252 miles northwest of Colorado Springs, which makes this an interstate relocation from Colorado to Washington that most movers classify as a long-distance move.

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 $5,850 to $8,710 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 22 h 17 min.

On the Colorado Springs side there are 247 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (70 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.

Colorado Springs has a population of about 494,743 and Tacoma about 229,816. Tacoma is the denser city (4,413 people per square mile versus 2,451 in Colorado Springs), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. 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 Colorado Springs to Tacoma?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,340 to $3,480 for a studio, $3,510 to $5,220 for a one-bedroom, $5,850 to $8,710 for a two-bedroom, $9,360 to $13,930 for a three-bedroom and $12,870 to $19,150 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Tacoma from Colorado Springs?

About 1,252 road miles (1,061 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 22 h 17 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Colorado 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 Colorado Springs to Tacoma?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,740 to $2,450 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,140 to $3,140. 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 Colorado Springs–Tacoma corridor.
