St. Cloud, MN → Kent, WA · Cross-country move
About 1,574 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,520–$9,700, delivery in 5–10 days, 243 carriers on the St. Cloud side and 646 in Kent.
The route from St. Cloud, MN to Kent, WA covers roughly 1,574 miles by road, a west-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 $6,520 to $9,700 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 27 hours (4 driving days).
On the St. Cloud side there are 243 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (91 of them authorized for interstate work), and 646 around Kent (317 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 Kent.
St. Cloud has a population of about 69,000 and Kent about 134,871. Kent is the denser city (4,041 people per square mile versus 1,713 in St. Cloud), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington is a higher-cost state than Minnesota, 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 1,574 road miles (1,334 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 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 Minnesota 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 $2,220 to $3,130 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,420 to $3,570. 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 St. Cloud–Kent corridor.
