As a cornerstone of global trade, the Pacific Northwest plays a pivotal role in supply chains moving through the U.S. West Coast. GSC has established a powerful and integrated 3PL operation in this region, delivering certainty through tailored logistics programs, real-time data, and world-class infrastructure. In 2023, GSC significantly strengthened its presence in the region through the acquisition of MacMillan-Piper, one of the Pacific Northwest’s most established and respected specialty transloaders, solidifying our position as a leading 3PL provider on the West Coast.

GSC has invested heavily in the Seattle and Tacoma markets, building an extensive network of facilities and systems that offer comprehensive logistics solutions. Over the last two years, we’ve handled more than 20,000 containers in the region, including over 12,000 containers last year, with 3,480 deliveries to Puyallup and Spanaway alone.
