I had the majority of my household goods in storage in CA since 2009 and just got them brought to OR in 2016

No, you cannot deduct the moving expenses on your 2016 tax return. Per IRS, the deduction is allowed for a move closely related in time. You can consider moving expenses incurred within 1 year from the date you first reported to work at the new location.
