Lineage, Inc., the world’s largest global temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, today announced that its Seattle – Garfield facility, located at the Port of Seattle, is now an approved Class 3 Public bonded storage facility. 

This is Lineage’s first customs bonded facility in the state of Washington and one of the first refrigerated storage facilities with customs bonded space in the Seattle market.

With this new certification, the site is now better equipped to help customers navigate the complexities of international logistics, enabling greater precision, flexibility and ease by providing safe temperature-controlled storage of imported goods under U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) supervision until they are cleared for domestic commerce or re-export. These services provide a crucial gateway for temperature-sensitive imports arriving via the Port of Seattle.

Located at 2001 W Garfield Street on Pier 90, Lineage’s Seattle – Garfield facility offers cold storage, drayage, temperature-controlled rail and on-demand trucking. The new customs bonded warehousing service complements the site’s existing USDA and FDA inspections, drayage and intermodal services, strengthening Lineage’s ability to help make the import process easier and more streamlined for customers.

“Our certified customs bonded warehouse space in Seattle marks an exciting milestone for Lineage, reflecting our commitment to anticipate and meet customer needs in a dynamic global trade environment,” said Brian Beattie, president, North America West, at Lineage. “By expanding our import service capabilities in a critical hub for global trade, we aim to offer our customers greater flexibility to respond to shifting market conditions while maintaining compliance and protecting product integrity.”

The Seattle – Garfield facility joins Lineage’s growing network of bonded warehouses and I-Houses in key markets across the U.S. strategically positioned for global connectivity. The company now operates 10 bonded warehouse locations and 42 USDA-approved I-House facilities nationwide, streamlining both regulatory compliance and import logistics for food shippers.

About Lineage
Lineage, Inc. is the world’s largest global temperature-controlled warehouse REIT with a network of over 480 strategically located facilities totaling over 84 million square feet and approximately 3.0 billion cubic feet of capacity across countries in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Coupling end-to-end supply chain solutions and technology, Lineage partners with some of the world’s largest food and beverage producers, retailers, and distributors to help increase distribution efficiency, advance sustainability, minimize supply chain waste, and, most importantly, feed the world.
