Renton, WA → Hillsboro, OR · Regional long-distance move
About 165 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,420–$3,610, delivery in 1–2 days, 614 carriers on the Renton side and 165 in Hillsboro.
Hillsboro sits about 165 miles south of Renton, which makes this an interstate relocation from Washington to Oregon 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 $2,420 to $3,610 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 3 h 33 min.
On the Renton side there are 614 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (288 of them authorized for interstate work), and 165 around Hillsboro (95 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 Hillsboro.
Renton has a population of about 104,975 and Hillsboro about 111,126. The two cities have comparable density (4,544 and 4,142 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Oregon does collect a state income tax, unlike Washington, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 165 road miles (139 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 33 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.
Yes. Crossing from Washington into Oregon 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 $320 to $450 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,170 to $1,720. 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 Renton–Hillsboro corridor.
