Businesses should outsource e-commerce fulfillment in Seattle because its industrial real estate market is the largest in the Pacific Northwest; its consumer market extends to more than four million customers, and its transportation infrastructure enables access to the entire West Coast, Canada, virtually anywhere in the United States, and Mexico. Geographically, economically, and logistically speaking, Seattle is one of the best locations in the country for warehouse space and e-commerce fulfillment.
Transportation costs are always lower the closer your inventory is to your customer base. Therefore, it makes sense for retailers to position their warehouse locations as close to their customer base as possible to offset transportation costs.
Situated between interstate 90 and highways 5 and 80, Seattle enables retailers with easy access to every major city in the United States and Canada. In fact, most Seattle warehouse locations are no more than 5-7 hours drive from the majority of West Coast markets, including Portland, Vancouver, Olympia, and Tacoma. As the home to more warehouses, fulfillment centers, and 3PL service centers than anywhere in Washington, Seattle is the gateway for more than 582 million tonnes of freight flow entering the United States and home to two of the nation's busiest container ports in Tacoma and Seattle.
The rise of e-commerce made a significant impact on the city’s industrial real estate market, which reported an overall vacancy rate of 4.3% in the first quarter. Real estate investment outlook remains positive, however, thanks to the influence of e-commerce and foreign investment. The Seattle/Kent Valley region experienced record-high rates of job activity, investment, and construction heading into 2019. Research suggests that businesses aren’t just relocating to Seattle to tap into a growing skilled labor market, but are actually relocating because they can no longer afford to stay in business in California. Thanks to California’s historically higher real estate rates, many businesses are moving to Seattle to find cheaper talent and real estate. In fact, the share of commercial real estate in Seattle is only expected to grow as e-commerce retailers snatch up warehouses near interstates and in suburbs, while fulfillment centers inside of the city itself are prized for last-mile connectivity. Additionally, industrial real estate trends show that tenant demand and rental growth are slowly starting to stabilize, indicating that now is the best time to invest in warehouse in Seattle. When searching for warehouses for rent in Seattle, however, it’s important to remember the law of proximity. The law of proximity states; on average, the price for square foot of warehousing space in cities outside a major metro area are more affordable than in areas in the downtown. So, if you’re looking for affordable warehousing space, and you don’t mind a few extra minutes added to your commute, suburban Seattle is a great place to begin your search.
