The biggest levers on your Parkland quote:
How many rooms / cubic feet — the single biggest driver of your price.
Local moves are priced per volume; long-distance adds mileage and freight.
Full packing, bulky items and storage add to the base transport cost.
Parkland blends JBLM military families with Pacific Lutheran University households, and both shape what a move costs. A local 2-bedroom generally runs $2,225–$2,675, while an out-of-state relocation priced by weight and mileage sits around $4,550–$5,450. Students clearing a one-bedroom apartment usually see $1,675–$2,000 locally. MoveCost lays out the numbers so you're not guessing before the truck arrives.
Two rhythms drive Parkland moves: PCS orders that come whenever the military says, and the PLU academic calendar that clusters demand around spring move-out and late-summer move-in. Wet winters keep off-season local rates lower; dry summers and the occasional wildfire-smoke stretch tighten availability right as students arrive. Households leaving Washington entirely shift into weight-and-mileage pricing instead of straight crew hours.
