Kennewick, WA → Lakewood, CO · Long-distance move
About 990 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,130–$7,630, delivery in 2–5 days, 137 carriers on the Kennewick side and 1,122 in Lakewood.
Lakewood sits about 990 miles southeast of Kennewick, which makes this an interstate relocation from Washington to Colorado 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 $5,130 to $7,630 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 17 h 46 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 1,122 around Lakewood (405 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 Lakewood.
Kennewick has a population of about 88,000 and Lakewood about 156,927. The two cities have comparable density (2,944 and 3,586 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Colorado does collect a state income tax, unlike Washington, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 990 road miles (839 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 46 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Washington into Colorado 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 $1,470 to $2,070 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,900 to $2,800. 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–Lakewood corridor.
