Reverse: Walla Walla → Ketchikan

Moving from Ketchikan to Walla Walla is a long-distance move of roughly 1,020 road miles, heading southeast from Alaska to 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 $5,490 to $8,170 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 18 h 17 min.

On the Ketchikan side there are 12 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1 of them authorized for interstate work), and 10 around Walla Walla (4 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 Walla Walla.

Ketchikan has a population of about 8,000 and Walla Walla about 34,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,147 and 2,426 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 Ketchikan to Walla Walla?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,200 to $3,270 for a studio, $3,290 to $4,900 for a one-bedroom, $5,490 to $8,170 for a two-bedroom, $8,780 to $13,070 for a three-bedroom and $12,080 to $17,970 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Walla Walla from Ketchikan?

About 1,020 road miles (865 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 17 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Alaska 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Ketchikan to Walla Walla?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,500 to $2,110 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,930 to $2,840. 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 Ketchikan–Walla Walla corridor.
