THE OUTCOME

While Northern California offered competitive rates, Tumwater, Washington, emerged as the optimal choice. The selected facility, located at the Tumwater Corporate Center—a Class A new construction development—offered ample outdoor storage and a strategic location on the I-5 corridor, 35 miles south of Tacoma. The landlord, Crow Holdings, actively pursued the requirement allowing Daedong to securing favorable terms. Tumwater’s proximity to the Port of Tacoma facilitated inbound shipments from South Korea, while its central location supported efficient distribution to dealerships across the western U.S. and Canada.
