Data (read 2026-10-19): OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap data, free-flow drive from 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks; U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates; NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020; U.S. Census Bureau, State-to-State Migration Flows (ACS 1-year 2024); U.S. Census Bureau, ACS county-to-county migration flows 2016-2020.
Olympia is at 32 feet and the Sparks warehouse is at 4,437, so the trip climbs about 4,400 feet. Olympia averages 50.6 inches of precipitation a year and 77.6 degrees in July, and Reno averages 7.35 inches and 93.9, so the air gets much drier on arrival.
The printed route uses I-5 for about 225 miles, OR 58 for 85 miles, US 97 for 82 miles and CA 139 for 98 miles. Those four add up to 490 of the 644 miles, and the remaining 154 are shorter links. Only the I-5 stretch is a major interstate; the rest is state and US highway.
The map line is about 542 miles and the roads add about 100. A winter departure should check Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada road-condition sites.
Wheel time is about 13 h 24 min, which is a two-day trip at 500 miles a day. A shipment moves through the carrier network's schedule and the delivery window in your written estimate is the date to plan around.

WE ARE THRILLED TO HEAR THE MOVE WENT SO WELL!!!! Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to let us know.

We were referred to O'Brien's Moving and Storage though a friend in Reno. We couldn't be more pleased with the Professionalism and Service. They were quick to set up Luke to come out and give us a quote and scheduled the actual move date right away. Luke was on time for our quote as were the movers on our moving day. All three of the gentlemen who moved us were professional and courteous from start to finish. From the initial phone call to the completion of our move, we felt like we were treated as family. We would definitely use them again and recommend O'Brien's Moving and Storage to our friends in the future.
Francie, Thank you for this amazing review. The result you have expressed is exactly what we all strive to accomplish. I love that you walked away knowing you are now a part of the O'Brien's family, whenever you need us we are a phone call away! I will let the movers know about the kind words expressed about them, that will be very satisfying for all of them. We will look forward to any referrals you send our way, thank you for the opportunity!
