Why brands fulfill from Seattle

The Ports of Seattle and Tacoma run their marine cargo together as the Northwest Seaport Alliance, which handled 3,156,598 TEUs in 2025. Rail is part of that flow: its terminals logged 631,230 intermodal lifts the same year.

Containers that stay in the region reach warehouses by a short truck move from the terminals, local drayage. The Kent Valley alone holds 136 million sq ft of commercial and industrial space, more than Seattle, the Eastside and the Northend combined, and about 12,000 companies. On the Tacoma side, WSDOT has opened a 2-mile SR 167 Expressway segment linking SR 509 and freight corridors near the Port of Tacoma with I-5 (announced September 2026).

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport handled 427,971 metric tons of air cargo in 2025. If you are choosing between Seattle-Tacoma and Los Angeles as the West Coast port for your imports, price the drayage and inland freight from each port to your warehouse and customers, not only the ocean leg.

About 353,000 people work in trade, transportation and utilities in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro (August 2026, preliminary). Washington reached 8,176,300 residents on April 1, 2026, and Seattle (823,400) and Tacoma added more residents than any other city in the state.

Questions to ask a Seattle 3PL

  1. Which terminal will our containers come from, Seattle or Tacoma, and who runs the drayage to your dock?
  2. Is the building customs bonded, and can you hold imports there before duty is paid?
  3. Which of your Kent, Fife, Sumner or Tacoma buildings would hold our inventory, and how far is it from the port?
  4. Can you transload ocean containers into domestic trailers or onto rail, and what does that cost per container?
  5. How many extra staff do you add for the holiday peak, and what was your on-time rate last December?
  6. If most of our customers are east of the Rockies, do you run a second warehouse there, or would we need another provider?
