New York, NY → Renton, WA · Cross-country move
About 2,834 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,440–$14,050, delivery in 7–14 days, 4,150 carriers on the New York side and 614 in Renton.
Moving from New York to Renton is a cross-country move of roughly 2,834 road miles, heading northwest from New York 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 $9,440 to $14,050 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 49 hours (6 driving days).
On the New York side there are 4,150 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (2,180 of them authorized for interstate work), and 614 around Renton (288 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 Renton.
New York has a population of about 8.6 million and Renton about 104,975. New York is considerably denser (29,298 people per square mile versus 4,544), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 2,834 road miles (2,401 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 49 hours (6 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 New York 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $3,960 to $5,590 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,550 to $5,220. 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 New York–Renton corridor.
