About 160 miles run from a Seattle move-out to a place near Uptown Village or out in Camas. Royalty Moving & Storage handles your move-out here in Washington, and we deliver right back into Washington on the Oregon border. A clear written quote and one coordinator carry you through.
Roughly 160 miles down I-5.
Vancouver sits on the north bank of the Columbia River, directly across from Portland, Oregon, so the drive south from Seattle is the same I-5 corridor used for the Portland run, just stopping a bit short of the river crossing. It is a single freeway with no passes, and most moves are done well within a day.
A dedicated truck makes it in a single day. The distance makes consolidation unnecessary. Your coordinator confirms the crew and the timing before move day. Compare options on our long-distance moving page.

At 160 miles, this is a same-day direct move. Here is what that looks like.
Consolidated Delivery
Lower cost, wider window
Your shipment shares truck space with other moves heading the same direction. It is the more affordable choice when your Vancouver move-in date has some give.
Delivery lands inside a window, not applicable at this distance. All Vancouver moves go direct. You get a narrowed date range as the truck nears Vancouver.
Express Delivery
Dedicated truck, faster door to door
A truck and driver assigned only to your move. Your belongings are not combined with anyone else's, so loading and delivery run on a tighter schedule.
Seattle to Vancouver is a same-day move. The truck loads in Seattle in the morning and delivers to Vancouver the same day.

Portland's neighbor, with no Oregon income tax.
Vancouver, Washington sits right across the Columbia River from Portland, and a lot of people choose it specifically to get Portland's job market and culture while keeping Washington's lack of state income tax. Uptown Village has a walkable strip of shops and restaurants, and the waterfront has been rebuilt with new parks and housing along the river.
Most homes are single-family with driveways and easy parking, so access is generally simple. Camas and east Vancouver are newer suburbs with modern construction. The climate matches Seattle's own rainy pattern closely, so there is little seasonal adjustment.
Where people land
Uptown Village
A walkable strip of shops and restaurants just north of downtown.
Downtown / Waterfront
The rebuilt riverfront district with new condos and parks along the Columbia.
Camas
A growing suburb east of the city, newer homes and easy access.

Established residential neighborhoods with a mix of home styles.

3. Is this the Vancouver near Portland or the one in Canada?
This route goes to Vancouver, Washington, directly across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. It is a domestic in-state move, not an international one.
