“They did an amazing job! Without their help, I couldn't have moved some very large and heavy items up two flights of stairs in my new place. They were super efficient, professional, and there was no damage to my house or the items they moved. Definitely would hire again!”

Who makes this move
The figures count movers, and they do not say why anyone left.
Census both ways. ACS 2024 counted 16,202 people moving from Texas to Washington, with a margin of plus or minus 3,734. The reverse count is close: 15,937 people moved from Washington to Texas. The figures count movers, and they do not say why anyone left.
Prices and wage tax. BEA price parity for 2024 puts Texas at 97.1 and Washington at 107.0, with the US set at 100. Texas does not tax wages, and Washington does not tax wages either. A higher price index in Washington is a cost fact, not a story about who should move.
What the job looks like
We have 31 reviews on this lane, a small sample than the busier state pairs.
The usual run. The most common trip in our file is Dallas to Spokane, 1,867 miles, about 33 hours of driving. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and miles, so two houses on the same map can land far apart on the bill. Delivery is a window set on the order for service, not a single appointment time. A run of 1,867 miles takes more than one day on the road.
What the reviews show. We have 31 reviews on this lane, a small sample than the busier state pairs. The median reported price is $4,200 across 31 priced reviews, and the middle half runs from $3,000 to $8,000. Those prices mix home sizes and distances. 45% mention damage, and 29% mention a delay or a no-show.
Before you book
On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate.
License first. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Look the number up before you pay anyone. Haulest is not a carrier and does not haul the load. See the license lookup if you want the check in one place.
Paper before deposit. Ask for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate and read it with the estimate guide. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate. Get the delivery window in writing, and put deposit terms in the same packet. The 110 percent rule and deposit terms are the checks that usually get skipped.
