Port Angeles, WA → Yakima, WA · Regional long-distance move
About 203 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,660–$3,950, delivery in 1–2 days, 11 carriers on the Port Angeles side and 60 in Yakima.
Yakima sits about 203 miles southeast of Port Angeles, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.
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 $2,660 to $3,950 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 12 min.
On the Port Angeles side there are 11 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (2 of them authorized for interstate work), and 60 around Yakima (34 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 Yakima.
Port Angeles has a population of about 20,000 and Yakima about 98,000. Yakima is the denser city (3,481 people per square mile versus 1,864 in Port Angeles), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 203 road miles (172 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 12 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.
No. Because both Port Angeles and Yakima 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $360 to $510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,200 to $1,770. 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 Port Angeles–Yakima corridor.
