Moving from Montana to Washington means crossing state lines, so any mover you hire must hold active interstate authority from the FMCSA. Between the largest cities of the two states—Billings and Seattle—the road distance is about 785 miles, which puts a typical move in the long-distance move bracket with a delivery window of 2 to 5 days.
Montana has about 1.1 million residents and Washington about 7.7 million. Washington is a higher-cost state than Montana; plan for larger deposits and pricier destination-side services. Washington has no state income tax on wages, while Montana does.
