Ukiah, CA → Walla Walla, WA · Long-distance move
About 635 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,460–$6,640, delivery in 2–5 days, 15 carriers on the Ukiah side and 10 in Walla Walla.
The route from Ukiah, CA to Walla Walla, WA covers roughly 635 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the long-distance 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 $4,460 to $6,640 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 11 h 39 min.
On the Ukiah side there are 15 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (3 of them authorized for interstate work), and 10 around Walla Walla (4 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 Walla Walla.
Ukiah has a population of about 17,000 and Walla Walla about 34,000. Ukiah is considerably denser (3,484 people per square mile versus 2,426), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Washington than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 635 road miles (538 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 11 h 39 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 California 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 $950 to $1,340 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,590 to $2,330. 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 Ukiah–Walla Walla corridor.
