Silver Spring, MD → Port Angeles, WA · Cross-country move
About 2,796 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $8,900–$13,240, delivery in 7–14 days, 813 carriers on the Silver Spring side and 11 in Port Angeles.
Moving from Silver Spring to Port Angeles is a cross-country move of roughly 2,796 road miles, heading northwest from Maryland to Washington.
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 $8,900 to $13,240 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 48 hours (6 driving days).
On the Silver Spring side there are 813 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (494 of them authorized for interstate work), and 11 around Port Angeles (2 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 Port Angeles.
Silver Spring has a population of about 82,000 and Port Angeles about 20,000. Silver Spring is considerably denser (10,277 people per square mile versus 1,864), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 2,796 road miles (2,369 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 48 hours (6 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Maryland into Washington 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 $3,920 to $5,540 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,520 to $5,170. 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 Silver Spring–Port Angeles corridor.
