Warehousing & 3PL in Lacey, WA

Why Lacey shippers work with us

What freight in Lacey actually looks like

Lacey holds much of the Thurston County industrial and distribution base, serving the Olympia metro and the I-5 corridor south. It is the practical south end of the Puget Sound freight market before the long run to Portland.

Moving freight between Lacey and our Kent floor

The lane runs I-5 south, just past Olympia, and the natural gateway is the Port of Tacoma. That matters more than it sounds: a short, predictable move means we can pull a container the day it is available, unload it into our warehouse, and start shipping from inventory instead of paying to store freight on a chassis. We also serve Olympia, DuPont, Lakewood, so freight moving between them can be consolidated rather than run as separate partial loads.

Day to day that means storage by the pallet instead of a fixed lease, pick and pack for orders going out, cross-docking when freight should not be stored at all, and container drayage when it starts at a terminal. One team, one warehouse, one invoice.

Common questions from Lacey shippers

Do I need a minimum volume to use a 3PL?
No. We bill by the pallet and by the order, so a Lacey business shipping a few hundred orders a month is a normal account, not an exception. That is the point of using a warehouse instead of leasing one.

How fast can you get freight from Kent to Lacey?
Lacey is inside our regular delivery footprint, so same-day and next-day are both realistic depending on cut-off time and what else is on the truck. Tell us the delivery window you have promised and we will tell you honestly whether we can hold it.

Can you handle my imports too, not just storage?
Yes, and that is usually where the savings are. We pull the container from the Port of Tacoma before the last free day, unload it at our dock, and put the freight straight into inventory — so you are not paying demurrage at the terminal and per-diem on the box while you look for space.
