Tacoma, WA → Spokane Valley, WA · Regional long-distance move
About 290 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,020–$4,490, delivery in 1–3 days, 823 carriers on the Tacoma side and 115 in Spokane Valley.
Spokane Valley sits about 290 miles east of Tacoma, so this is an in-state move 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 $3,020 to $4,490 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 5 h 42 min.
On the Tacoma side there are 823 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (399 of them authorized for interstate work), and 115 around Spokane Valley (79 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 Spokane Valley.
Tacoma has a population of about 229,816 and Spokane Valley about 108,405. Tacoma is considerably denser (4,413 people per square mile versus 2,731), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,410 to $2,100 for a studio, $1,810 to $2,690 for a one-bedroom, $3,020 to $4,490 for a two-bedroom, $4,830 to $7,190 for a three-bedroom and $6,640 to $9,880 for four or more bedrooms.

About 290 road miles (246 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 42 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Tacoma and Spokane Valley 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 $450 to $630 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,280 to $1,880. 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 Tacoma–Spokane Valley corridor.
