Arizona to Washington Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Arizona to Washington
Phoenix to Seattle is about 1,510 miles. Trucks go west to Southern California, then up the full length of I-5 through California and Oregon into Puget Sound. It's a solid three or four days by car.
We see a lot of job moves on this route, with people relocating to Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond for tech work. Washington also has big military bases, so we ship for soldiers and airmen heading to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, sailors going to Naval Base Kitsap and Whidbey Island, and airmen moving to Fairchild AFB near Spokane. Students at UW and WSU make up another share.

The Route
How Cars Get From Arizona to Washington
Western Washington loads go west on I-10 to Los Angeles, then north on I-5 through Sacramento, over Siskiyou Summit, and up through Portland into Vancouver, Olympia, Tacoma, and Seattle.
Eastern Washington usually comes from a different direction: up I-15 through Las Vegas and Salt Lake City, then I-84 across Idaho and Oregon to the Tri-Cities and Spokane. Crossing the Cascades on Snoqualmie Pass links the two sides when needed.
Along the Way
- Phoenix → Los Angeles~370 mi
- Los Angeles → Sacramento~385 mi
- Sacramento → Medford~285 mi
- Medford → Portland~275 mi
- Portland → Seattle~175 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Arizona to Washington
Mountain passes and PCS moves set the timing here.
Summer PCS Season
May through August is the peak for moves to JBLM, Kitsap, Whidbey, and Fairchild. Book as soon as you have orders.
Mountain Passes in Winter
Siskiyou Summit on I-5 and Snoqualmie Pass on I-90 can require chains or close. Expect a wider window from November through March.
Wildfire Season
Late summer fires and smoke can close roads in Oregon, Northern California, and Eastern Washington. Drivers reroute when needed.
Spring & Fall
Usually smooth and easy to book.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Arizona to Washington?
Here's what moves the price on this route.
Distance
The Tri-Cities are about 1,280 miles from Phoenix. Seattle is closer to 1,500.
East vs. West
Puget Sound and Spokane are on main truck routes. The Olympic Peninsula, the San Juans, and small Cascade towns take more planning.
Season
Summer PCS moves raise demand. Winter passes can affect timing.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps a nicer car protected on winter passes.
Vehicle Size
Full-size trucks and SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window lets us catch a truck already running north on I-5.

Your quote is your final price. Good for 7 days, no extra charges for mountain passes, and $0 due at booking.
Get My Arizona to Washington QuoteGood to Know
Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Washington-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Washington
New residents have 30 days to title and register with the Washington DOL. Washington doesn't require a safety or emissions inspection. Check dol.wa.gov for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for soldiers, airmen, sailors, and families moving to JBLM, Naval Base Kitsap, NAS Whidbey Island, and Fairchild AFB.
Seattle Deliveries
Steep hills, narrow streets, and apartment towers make door delivery hard in much of Seattle. The driver will set up a nearby meeting spot.
Island Deliveries
For Bainbridge, Whidbey, or the San Juans, we can deliver to the ferry terminal or the nearest mainland town.
