Meet Our Members - NW Harvest Warehouse


Located in a commercial area in Kent, the Northwest Harvest Warehouse is an impressive facility that makes one proud of the work that they are doing. This warehouse is huge in its size, capability and capacity while still being meticulously clean and well run.
The warehouse is incredibly volunteer friendly, boasting over 700,000 annual volunteer hours served per year, a volunteer's lounge including lockers, and sorting facilities designed to keep over 70 volunteers busy at one time in each room.


Thanks to Josh Fogt and Vikki Thompson for a friendly and informative tour of the facility.









More about the warehouse:
• Proximity to I-5 corridor: less than 2 miles
• Number of loading docks: 10

• Total square footage: 94,225 square feet

• Onsite refrigerated and freezer storage

• Storage capacity for 1,320,000 cubic feet of goods
