3PL in Seattle — one company for the whole chain.

Why one Seattle 3PL beats three vendors

When drayage, the warehouse and outbound all sit with separate companies, the cost leaks in the gaps — and so does the accountability. A container sits an extra day because the warehouse wasn't told it was coming; a demurrage charge lands because nobody owned the Last Free Day. Running it as one operation closes those gaps: our dispatch team pulls the box off the Port of Seattle, our warehouse receives it, and our drivers deliver it — all watching the same clock. We serve the whole Seattle metro and the Kent Valley, and pair this with our Seattle warehousing and Seattle drayage coverage.

Third-party logistics across the Seattle metro

We work the whole city, not one corner of it. South Seattle — SODO, Georgetown, South Park, Tukwila and the Duwamish industrial corridor — is the shortest run from the terminals and where most of our import receiving happens. North Seattle — Ballard, Interbay, Fremont, Northgate and Shoreline — we cover on scheduled outbound runs from Kent, which is normally faster door-to-door than it looks on a map because the freight is already palletized and staged before the truck leaves.

The Kent Valley itself — Kent, Renton, Auburn, Tukwila and Federal Way — is where the warehouse sits and where most Seattle 3PL work actually gets done, for the same reason every distribution center in the region is there: it is the only place with both the building stock and the port access.

3PL and drayage on one account

Most third-party logistics companies in Seattle are warehouse operators who broker the trucking, or truckers who broker the warehouse. We are neither. We own the tractors, the chassis and the building, which is what lets us answer the question that actually matters on an import: where is my container right now, and when does it hit the dock? A broker has to call someone to find out. Our dispatcher can see it.

That also means the Last Free Day is one company's problem instead of nobody's. A container drayed by one vendor into another vendor's warehouse is how demurrage happens — not through malice, just because the clock belongs to neither of them.

Seattle 3PL FAQ

Do you offer 3PL services in Seattle?

Yes — drayage off the Port of Seattle plus warehousing, fulfillment, transload and final-mile, run from our Kent hub about 20 minutes from the Seattle terminals, all on one invoice.

Are you an asset-based 3PL or a broker?

Asset-based — our own trucks, chassis, warehouse and crew. Your freight isn't subcontracted to a network of third parties.

Can one company handle my Seattle drayage and warehousing?

That's the point of working with us — the same team that pulls your container off the Port of Seattle stores and ships it, so there's no handoff between separate vendors.

What does a Seattle 3PL cost?

It depends on your volume and the mix of services — drayage by lane, warehousing by space and handling, fulfillment by order. Send us your freight profile and we'll quote it the same day.

Do you serve North Seattle as well as South Seattle?

Both. South Seattle and the Duwamish corridor are a short run from our dock; North Seattle, Ballard and Shoreline are covered on scheduled outbound runs.

What is the difference between a 3PL and a freight broker?

A broker arranges the move and owns none of it. A 3PL takes custody of your freight and runs the operation. We are the second kind, and asset-based on top of that — the trucks and the warehouse are ours.

Can you take over from my current 3PL mid-season?

Yes, and it happens more often than you would expect around September. Tell us the SKU count, the pallet count and the outbound profile; we will tell you honestly whether the transfer is worth doing before peak or after it.
