Kennewick, WA → Walla Walla, WA · Local move
About 49 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,430–$2,130, delivery in 0–1 days, 137 carriers on the Kennewick side and 10 in Walla Walla.
Walla Walla sits about 49 miles east of Kennewick, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a local move.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 32 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,430 and $2,130, before packing or storage.
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 10 around Walla Walla (4 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 Walla Walla.
Kennewick has a population of about 88,000 and Walla Walla about 34,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,944 and 2,426 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Kennewick and Walla Walla 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 $200 to $280 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,060 to $1,560. 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–Walla Walla corridor.
