Amazon just made a massive move in the Pacific Northwest.
The map above shows just how massive and strategically located Amazon’s new PDX8 warehouse is, putting Oregon at the center of West Coast fulfillment.
The e-commerce giant opened a brand new $500 million fulfillment center in Woodburn, Oregon, a 3.8 million square foot powerhouse capable of stocking up to 40 million products. Equipped with more than 6,000 robotic units, this state-of-the-art facility is set to reshape fulfillment in the region.
But what does that mean for Amazon and Walmart sellers? And more importantly, how does it impact you?
Here’s the breakdown:
What Sellers Should Know About the New Amazon Warehouse
The newly opened Amazon fulfillment center known as PDX8, is based in Woodburn, just 30 miles south of Portland, Oregon. At 3.8 million square feet, it now holds the title of the largest facility in the Pacific Northwest. But this isn’t just about size — it’s about speed, automation, and strategic reach.
Inside, more than 6,000 robots hum across 30 miles of conveyor belts, moving up to 40 million SKUs through a highly orchestrated system. At full peak capacity, Amazon expects to employ as many as 3,500 workers. This combination of human labor and robotic automation means faster delivery times and increased throughput for millions of products headed to consumers.
This facility, known as PDX8, isn’t just a warehouse. It’s a statement. Amazon is investing big in fast, automated, high-volume fulfillment, and it’s placing Oregon right in the center of it.
Here’s Why This Is a Huge Opportunity for Sellers
With PDX8 now online, sellers have a powerful logistics advantage at their fingertips. Delivery times across the western United States will shrink, giving sellers the ability to better compete on speed. Restock limits, a pain point for many, may loosen as the warehouse’s massive capacity comes online.
Perhaps most importantly, customers will receive their orders faster, and that translates into better reviews, increased trust, and repeat business.
But there’s a catch:
Amazon’s warehouses don’t prep your inventory. They expect it to arrive 100% ready.
That means sellers now face greater pressure to get every detail right, from accurate labeling to correct bundling, and full compliance with FBA prep rules.
If you miss? Your inventory gets delayed, rejected, or penalized.
