Fulfillment, Warehousing & 3PL in Seattle, WA

3PL & warehousing services for Seattle businesses

Whether you import through the Port of Seattle, sell direct-to-consumer, or supply Seattle retailers, we run the whole flow: drayage from the terminals, transloading, short- and long-term storage, pick-and-pack fulfillment, and distribution. One partner, one point of accountability, no handoffs between vendors.

Why Seattle importers choose us

• Port-adjacent — we pull your containers before the Last Free Day and beat demurrage.
• One roof — drayage and warehousing together means fewer delays and one invoice.
• Fast metro reach — 2-day delivery to 98% of the US and same-day around the Seattle metro.
• Real-time visibility — live inventory and container status, not phone tag.

Fulfillment warehousing for Seattle, without Seattle rent

Industrial space inside Seattle is scarce and priced accordingly, which is why so much Seattle inventory actually sits south of the city. That's the trade most Seattle shippers end up making anyway — the question is only whether the building you land in can also take a container. Ours can.

For a Seattle brand that means the whole flow in one place: pick and pack fulfillment for orders going out, pallet storage billed by the pallet instead of a lease, cross-docking when freight shouldn't be stored at all, and returns processing when it comes back.

South Seattle, SODO and the Duwamish corridor

The industrial spine of Seattle runs south — SODO, Georgetown, South Park and the Duwamish — and it connects straight down the valley to us. If you're searching for a South Seattle 3PL, you're looking along that corridor, and the practical end of it's the Kent Valley. Same lane, more space, and a dock that handles a 40-foot container as easily as a pallet of cartons.

We also serve Ballard, Interbay and the north end — the difference there's drive time on outbound delivery, not capability.

Port of Seattle imports, straight to the shelf

If your freight arrives at Terminal 5, 18 or 30, the expensive part isn't the ocean leg — it's the week after the vessel berths. Port of Seattle drayage from us means the box is pulled before the last free day, unloaded on our dock, and the freight is in inventory the same day instead of sitting loaded on a chassis while demurrage and per-diem both run.

Serving all of Seattle

We support SODO, Georgetown, Ballard, and the greater Seattle metro, plus the Kent Valley industrial corridor just south. If your freight moves through the Port of Seattle or the Seattle–Tacoma manufacturing belt, our Kent facility is built to serve it.

What freight in Seattle actually looks like

Seattle's freight splits in two directions. Import containers land at Terminal 5, 18 and 30 and need to move inland before demurrage starts, while SODO and Georgetown are full of brands shipping direct to consumers who need pallets in and parcels out. Downtown delivery windows are tight and the industrial land near the water is expensive, which is why so much Seattle inventory is actually stored south of the city.

Moving freight between Seattle and our Kent floor

The lane runs I-5 and SR-99 north out of the Valley, and the natural gateway is the Port of Seattle. That matters more than it sounds: a short, predictable move means we can pull a container the day it's available, unload it into our warehouse, and start shipping from inventory instead of paying to store freight on a chassis. We also serve SeaTac, Tukwila, Renton, 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 Seattle shippers

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

How fast can you get freight from Kent to Seattle?
Seattle 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've promised and we'll tell you honestly whether we can hold it.

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

Food, beverage and consumer-goods freight in Seattle

A lot of what moves through the Port of Seattle is grocery, beverage and everyday consumer goods, and the handling question is usually the same one: where does it sit between the terminal and the shelf. We run temperature-controlled and ambient pallet storage for food and beverage importers, receive the container on our own dock, and ship out by the pallet or by the order.

Being straight about the boundary, because it matters in this category: we are a temperature-controlled and ambient warehouse serving food and beverage importers. We are not an FDA-registered food-grade facility and we do not hold AIB certification, so open-product handling, repacking of unpackaged food and anything requiring a food-safety audit is not us. Sealed, packaged and cased goods are routine.

Consumer-goods accounts tend to want the same three things — pick and pack that keeps up with a promotion, cross-docking when a load is already sold before it lands, and storage that flexes for peak instead of a twelve-month lease. Retail-bound freight has its own rules on labelling and appointment windows; that is covered on our retail logistics page.
