Local picture
What moves through Tacoma.
Part of the Northwest Seaport Alliance, handling the majority of regional container volume.
Tacoma sits in Pierce County, served by I-5, I-705 and SR-16. The local freight base is container port, rail intermodal, manufacturing, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.
At roughly 2350 miles, Tacoma is outside the range where hauling routine stock from Ohio makes economic sense. What does travel is specification: engineered builds, export crating and program design, where the value sits in the drawing rather than in the wood.

Questions
Pallets in Tacoma.
Can you deliver pallets to Tacoma?
Reachable on project freight and through our sourcing network. For routine weekly supply, a yard closer to you will almost certainly beat us on delivered cost, and we will say so. Tacoma is about 2350 road miles from our yard, about 35 hours.
Do you collect used pallets from Tacoma?
Collection at this distance only works on volume — a full trailer of sorted cores, or a program arrangement. For smaller quantities a regional recycler is the right call. See sell your pallets.
What do pallets cost in Tacoma?
Recycled 48×40 GMA has run roughly $7.50 to $12.00 for Grade A and $5.00 to $8.50 for Grade B in our home market, before freight. Delivered pricing to Tacoma depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.
What is the local industry mix?
Container port, Rail intermodal, Manufacturing. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
