The Los Angeles to Seattle route
Nearly the whole trip runs on Interstate 5: north up California's Central Valley, past Mount Shasta, over the Siskiyou Mountains into Oregon, and on through Portland to Seattle.
When to book
Winter is the variable on this lane. Snow on the Siskiyou Pass and around Mount Shasta can slow or briefly close I-5. Carriers wait for safe conditions, and we'll tell you if timing shifts.
Late spring and summer are peak moving season on the West Coast. Booking a week or two ahead gives you the best carrier options.
