Springfield, MO → Olympia, WA · Cross-country move
About 1,947 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,860–$10,210, delivery in 5–10 days, 135 carriers on the Springfield side and 101 in Olympia.
The route from Springfield, MO to Olympia, WA covers roughly 1,947 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $6,860 to $10,210 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 34 hours (4 driving days).
On the Springfield side there are 135 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (106 of them authorized for interstate work), and 101 around Olympia (46 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 Olympia.
Springfield has a population of about 169,847 and Olympia about 57,000. Olympia is the denser city (3,052 people per square mile versus 2,053 in Springfield), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington is a higher-cost state than Missouri, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,947 road miles (1,650 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 34 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 Missouri 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 $2,750 to $3,880 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,760 to $4,060. 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 Springfield–Olympia corridor.
