Renton, WA → Kennewick, WA · Regional long-distance move
About 198 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,640–$3,920, delivery in 1–2 days, 614 carriers on the Renton side and 137 in Kennewick.
The route from Renton, WA to Kennewick, WA covers roughly 198 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $2,640 to $3,920 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 7 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 137 around Kennewick (91 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 Kennewick.
Renton has a population of about 104,975 and Kennewick about 88,000. Renton is considerably denser (4,544 people per square mile versus 2,944), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 198 road miles (168 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 7 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 Renton and Kennewick 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 $350 to $500 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,200 to $1,760. 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–Kennewick corridor.
