Missoula, MT → Port Angeles, WA · Long-distance move
About 528 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,710–$5,520, delivery in 2–5 days, 35 carriers on the Missoula side and 11 in Port Angeles.
Moving from Missoula to Port Angeles is a long-distance move of roughly 528 road miles, heading west from Montana 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 $3,710 to $5,520 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 9 h 48 min.
On the Missoula side there are 35 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (24 of them authorized for interstate work), and 11 around Port Angeles (2 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 Port Angeles.
Missoula has a population of about 76,000 and Port Angeles about 20,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,111 and 1,864 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Washington is a higher-cost state than Montana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 528 road miles (448 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 48 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 Montana 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 $840 to $1,190 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,490 to $2,190. 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 Missoula–Port Angeles corridor.
