Reverse: Kirkland → Olympia

The route from Olympia, WA to Kirkland, WA covers roughly 66 miles by road, a northeast-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 1 h 50 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,530 and $2,270, before packing or storage.

On the Olympia side there are 101 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (46 of them authorized for interstate work), and 377 around Kirkland (129 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 Kirkland.

Olympia has a population of about 57,000 and Kirkland about 95,000. Kirkland is the denser city (5,177 people per square mile versus 3,052 in Olympia), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Olympia to Kirkland?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $850 to $1,260 for a studio, $970 to $1,450 for a one-bedroom, $1,530 to $2,270 for a two-bedroom, $2,310 to $3,440 for a three-bedroom and $3,390 to $5,040 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Kirkland from Olympia?

About 66 road miles (56 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 50 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.

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

No. Because both Olympia and Kirkland 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 Olympia to Kirkland?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $220 to $310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,080 to $1,590. 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 Olympia–Kirkland corridor.
