Coverage questions
Which cities do you actually deliver to?
Everything on this page, run out of two Washington facilities: the fulfilment warehouse at 8467 S 208th St in Kent and the transload and oversize yard at 1531 Portland Ave E in Tacoma. The Puget Sound bands are served by our own box trucks and tractors; the lanes beyond the Sound — Portland, Spokane, Yakima, Boise, Vancouver BC — run as scheduled truckload and LTL freight.
Why is the warehouse in Kent rather than in Seattle or Tacoma?
Because the Kent Valley is where the region's industrial space actually is, and it sits between both ports rather than next to one. From here it is about eighteen miles to the Port of Seattle terminals and about twenty-five to the Port of Tacoma, so a container from either terminal is a short dray rather than a decision about which port you are loyal to.
Do you have warehouses in each of these cities?
No, and we would rather say so. Two do: the warehouse in Kent and the transload yard in Tacoma. A company claiming a facility in every city on a list like this usually means a broker relationship, which is exactly the extra handoff a 3PL is supposed to remove.
Can you do same-day delivery?
Across the Kent Valley and most of the Seattle and Tacoma metro, yes, for freight that is already on our floor. Further out it becomes a next-morning scheduled run, which is more honest than a same-day promise that depends on traffic on I-5.
Do you pull containers from both the Port of Seattle and the Port of Tacoma?
Both, plus the rail ramps. Terminal coverage includes T-18, T-30 and T-46 in Seattle and Husky, WUT and PCT in Tacoma — which matters, because a carrier that only works one port will tell you the box has to sit until it can.
What if my city is not on the list?
Ask. The list is where we already run regularly, not a boundary — most of Washington, Oregon and Idaho is reachable on a quoted lane, and the answer takes one phone call to (253) 449-2644.
