The route
A genuine long haul at 1,785 miles from Oklahoma to Washington. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $8,033 – $10,710 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

Before you book Oklahoma City to Olympia
Insist on a survey
Over 1,785 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 1,785 miles of handling.
