AVALARA OPENS 2ND SEATTLE OFFICE
Avalara said it is supporting its rapid growth by opening a second office in Seattle, Wash. The company’s new facility is located at the foot of Seneca Street on Pier 55 on Seattle's Central Waterfront. And for those not familiar with the geography that means that for Avalara, which is headquartered on Bainbridge Island, a 35-minute boat ride away, the new facility is not far from the ferry terminal at Pier 52.
Since the ferry sails generally every 50 minutes, it's not hard to think the sales-and-use tax vendor needs a little more flexibility in some schedules. When people from Avalara say that they've missed the boat, they are generally not talking about lost business opportunities. The first Seattle office has 20 administrative and compliance employees. The new office will house members of the R&D and marketing technology teams.
