Reverse: Yakima → Kent

The route from Kent, WA to Yakima, WA covers roughly 113 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.

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 2 h 39 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,280 and $3,400, before packing or storage.

On the Kent side there are 646 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (317 of them authorized for interstate work), and 60 around Yakima (34 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 Yakima.

Kent has a population of about 134,871 and Yakima about 98,000. The two cities have comparable density (4,041 and 3,481 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Kent to Yakima?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,410 to $2,100 for a studio, $1,410 to $2,100 for a one-bedroom, $2,280 to $3,400 for a two-bedroom, $3,650 to $5,440 for a three-bedroom and $5,030 to $7,480 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Yakima from Kent?

About 113 road miles (96 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 39 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Kent and Yakima 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Kent to Yakima?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $270 to $380 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,120 to $1,650. 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 Kent–Yakima corridor.
