Grand Junction, CO → Port Angeles, WA · Long-distance move
About 1,143 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,550–$8,260, delivery in 3–7 days, 67 carriers on the Grand Junction side and 11 in Port Angeles.
Port Angeles sits about 1,143 miles northwest of Grand Junction, 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 $5,550 to $8,260 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 20 h 24 min.
On the Grand Junction side there are 67 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (30 of them authorized for interstate work), and 11 around Port Angeles (2 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 Port Angeles.
Grand Junction has a population of about 70,000 and Port Angeles about 20,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,614 and 1,864 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,143 road miles (968 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 20 h 24 min.
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.
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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,620 to $2,290 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,040 to $3,000. 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 Grand Junction–Port Angeles corridor.
