How much do movers charge per hour in Ellensburg?

Per-mover rates typically fall between $25 and $50 an hour, which means a two- to three-person crew usually works out to about $150 to $180 or more per hour once you add the truck.

What will a small move cost?

A studio or one-bedroom apartment usually totals $300 to $600, with two movers spending roughly three to four hours on the job.

What about a bigger home?

A two- to three-bedroom home generally runs $600 to $1,800 with a three-person crew over four to six hours, while a large four-bedroom-plus home can reach $1,200 to $3,200 or more.

Does the price change with the season or day of the week?

Yes — like most of Washington, demand and pricing here tend to run higher during the busy summer stretch and around the start or end of the month, so a flexible date can help keep your rate on the lower end of these ranges.

What should I ask before booking?

Share your home's size and mention any heavy or specialty items, like a piano or hot tub, since that changes which crew size and rate a company will quote you. With those numbers in hand, the mover listings below are a reasonable place to start comparing.

Households arriving from another state report $64,130 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Washington report $112,303. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Kittitas County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 38% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

How much truck space do you need?

A moving truck filling up as you change the options

cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
