Full cost breakdown

How much does it really cost to move to Redmond, WA?

Redmond is built around Microsoft's headquarters, and its moving activity follows the campus. Expect roughly $2,225โ€“$2,675 for a 2BR local move on crew hours, or $4,550โ€“$5,450 if you're heading a longer distance. A 1BR apartment near the tech corridor typically falls between $1,675 and $2,000 locally, and a 3BR family home runs about $3,050โ€“$3,650 in town or $6,300โ€“$7,550 for a long-distance relocation.

What drives your moving cost

With Microsoft anchoring the city, a large volume of Redmond moves is tied to corporate hiring, transfers, and new arrivals joining the campus workforce. That means a healthy mix of apartment turnover near work and family homes changing hands in the surrounding neighborhoods. Many of these are inbound long-distance moves from out of state, priced on weight and mileage, alongside plenty of local shuffles as households upgrade from rentals into houses as they settle in.

What else to budget for in Washington

  • Tech corporate relocations: Microsoft-driven job moves keep demand steady, and inbound transfers often arrive as weight-plus-mileage long-distance jobs rather than local ones.
  • No state income tax: Washington's lack of a state income tax is a common reason new hires relocate here, though it has no bearing on the road-move price itself.
  • Dry-summer timing: Redmond's dry, warm summers make the busiest and easiest moving window; rainy winters are quieter and can mean careful loading in wet weather.
  • Wildfire smoke windows: Occasional late-summer smoke can affect a moving day; a little schedule flexibility helps you avoid the worst air-quality stretches.
  • Local vs. long-distance: In-town moves bill by crew hours, so an organized, boxed-up home keeps the clock short and the quote near the lower end.
