FREDERICKSON, WA-Ikea will develop a one-million-sf distribution center here to service its stores in the Northwest and throughout the US. The Sweden-based home furnishings retailer is acquiring 65 acres within the Frederickson Industrial Area located 13 miles south of the Port of Tacoma, through which Ikea will receive its product.

Ikea currently has only one store open in the Northwest US, in Renton, but a second store is under construction by Portland International Airport in Portland, OR, and a third store is rumored to be in the works between Tacoma and Olympia. The new Frederickson distribution center also will provide the primary inventory for four Ikea stores in Western Canada and another that is under construction in Draper, UT.
