§ 01 · seattle shopify context
Outdoor-aware. Amazon-parallel.
Seattle Shopify work is shaped by two facts: the PNW outdoor + technical-apparel scene runs deep here, and Amazon is headquartered in South Lake Union. Most Seattle DTC brands run a real Amazon channel alongside Shopify; the engineering work is multi-channel orchestration as much as storefront build. Outdoor + technical apparel brings size + fit complexity, repair-program operations, warranty registration, and sustainability-claim infrastructure as recurring scope items. Coffee + tea roasters bring subscription cadence, freshness math, wholesale cafe accounts.

Why Seattle for Shopify development specifically?

Do you handle Shopify-Amazon channel orchestration?

How does Seattle pricing compare to SF?
Comparable. Seattle Shopify Plus engagements run roughly the same as SF mid-market. The labor market is similar; what tends to vary is scope — Seattle briefs more often include Amazon-parallel and outdoor-brand operations work that increase total scope.
What about Hydrogen for Seattle brands?
Less common than SF but growing. Outdoor brands with deep content + buying-guide architecture sometimes go headless; coffee subscription brands generally stay on Liquid. We assess in discovery and document the trade-offs in writing.
