In short
Moving from Eugene, OR to Vancouver, WA covers about 130 miles and is an interstate move. Full-service movers cost $585 – $780 for a two-bedroom home in our model, delivered in 1 to 3 days. About 139 people a year move between the two counties (Census).
The route
A short interstate haul: 130 miles, about 2 hours of driving. Long enough to be priced on weight, short enough that most carriers run it on a dedicated truck rather than pooling your goods with other shipments — a two-bedroom home typically runs $585 – $780. That means a tight delivery date and far less handling.

How these figures are calculated
At the Vancouver end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Vancouver: All Service Moving (Portland, 100 trucks), Suddath Moving & Storage (Portland, 29 trucks), Graebel Moving Services (Wilsonville, 29 trucks), Terminal Transfer Inc (Portland, 25 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Oregon into Washington, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Eugene to Vancouver
Ask whether it is hourly or flat
At 130 miles some carriers still quote hourly plus mileage rather than by weight. Get both numbers so you can compare like with like — hourly can win on a short haul with easy access at both ends.
Confirm it is a one-day run
Most carriers cover this distance in a single day, which avoids an overnight charge and a second crew. If a quote assumes two days, ask why.
Arriving in Vancouver
A local move inside Vancouver later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $535 – $873 for a two-bedroom home and $903 – $1,614 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Vancouver are Portland (about 9 mi), Salem (about 59 mi), Olympia (about 114 mi).
