Seattle sits about 1,325 miles northwest of Tempe, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arizona to Washington that most movers classify as a 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 $5,890 to $8,760 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 23 h 33 min.
On the Tempe side there are 886 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (350 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,037 around Seattle (440 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 Seattle.
Tempe has a population of about 190,571 and Seattle about 784,777. Seattle is the denser city (8,795 people per square mile versus 4,526 in Tempe), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington is a higher-cost state than Arizona, 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.
