Kansas City sits at a genuine crossroads. Four interstates serve the metro. I-70 runs east to west, connecting St. Louis to Denver. I-35 runs north to south, connecting Minneapolis and Kansas City and continuing down to Oklahoma City and Dallas. I-29 heads northwest toward Omaha and Sioux City. I-49 runs south toward Arkansas and Louisiana. That is a lot of carrier corridors passing through one city. Manheim Kansas City is located on North Skiles Avenue and is an active regional auction. ADESA Kansas City is on Adesa Drive and adds more wholesale volume. The dealer market across Kansas City proper and the Kansas suburbs is solid. Carriers running the I-70 corridor from coast to coast pass through here regularly. This market sees good consistent traffic in most directions.
Pickups in Kansas City run 2 to 3 days on average. The metro spreads across both Missouri and Kansas, and both sides are accessible for carriers. The north side near I-29 and the east side near I-70 see the most truck activity. Suburban areas in Overland Park, Lenexa, and Olathe on the Kansas side are easy for hauler access. Downtown Kansas City is manageable. Winter on the plains can occasionally add a day when storms move through on I-70, but this is not a regular issue.

Seattle is a solid auto transport market with a geographic reality that matters. It is in the top left corner of the continental US. That means carriers heading here are usually at the end of a run and need to turn around and head back south or east. The Port of Seattle handles vehicle imports and Manheim has a location in the area. The dealer market across Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, and the surrounding suburbs is healthy. I-5 is the main artery connecting Seattle to Portland and LA to the south, and I-90 is the primary eastern route heading toward Spokane and eventually the Midwest. It is an active market, just not quite the crossroads that cities further south and east enjoy.
Delivering to Seattle is active on the I-5 southbound to northbound return runs. Carriers who just dropped cars in Portland often pick up in Seattle before heading south again. Delivery from California is frequent and well serviced. Coming in from the east on I-90 takes a bit more coordination but it gets done regularly. Plan for 3 to 5 days on most routes.
Shipping a standard sedan from Kansas City to Seattle on open carrier currently estimates between $975 and $1275. That is based on the 1,834-mile distance and current market conditions.
Kansas City runs at or slightly below the national average. The four-interstate access and auction density keep this market competitive. Routes on I-70 toward St. Louis, Denver, and the coasts are among the most active carrier corridors in the country and prices show it. Routes on I-35 between Dallas and Minneapolis are well traveled and efficient. Getting into rural Missouri or rural Kansas from Kansas City costs more because you are departing the dense corridors.

Seattle runs slightly above the national average. The corner positioning means carriers are not passing through on their way somewhere else, they are specifically routing to or from the Pacific Northwest. That adds a small premium versus interior cities. The I-5 corridor to and from California is the most competitive lane. Routes to the Midwest run longer and slightly higher in cost because of the distance and mountain crossings. Get a quote for your specific route.
