Redmond, WA → Kansas City, MO · Cross-country move
About 1,763 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,560–$9,760, delivery in 5–10 days, 359 carriers on the Redmond side and 505 in Kansas City.
Moving from Redmond to Kansas City is a cross-country move of roughly 1,763 road miles, heading east from Washington to Missouri.
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 $6,560 to $9,760 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 31 hours (4 driving days).
On the Redmond side there are 359 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (118 of them authorized for interstate work), and 505 around Kansas City (405 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 Kansas City.
Redmond has a population of about 76,000 and Kansas City about 521,220. Redmond is considerably denser (4,422 people per square mile versus 1,615), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Missouri than in Washington, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Missouri does collect a state income tax, unlike Washington, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,763 road miles (1,494 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 31 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Washington into Missouri 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 $2,410 to $3,400 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,590 to $3,810. 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 Redmond–Kansas City corridor.
