Kennewick, WA → Kent, WA · Regional long-distance move
About 195 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,620–$3,900, delivery in 1–2 days, 137 carriers on the Kennewick side and 646 in Kent.
Moving from Kennewick to Kent is a regional long-distance move of roughly 195 road miles, heading northwest within 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 $2,620 to $3,900 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 4 min.
On the Kennewick side there are 137 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (91 of them authorized for interstate work), and 646 around Kent (317 interstate). For an in-state 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 Kent.
Kennewick has a population of about 88,000 and Kent about 134,871. Kent is the denser city (4,041 people per square mile versus 2,944 in Kennewick), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 195 road miles (166 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 4 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.
No. Because both Kennewick and Kent are in Washington, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $350 to $490 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,190 to $1,760. 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 Kennewick–Kent corridor.
