We are an award-winning importer and wholesaler of high-end Italian specialty food. We ship all over the US and to Canada.
We are looking for a part-time to full-time person, to add to our small team to work in the following position.
Warehouse Associate:
The warehouse is where inbound containers are received, bailed, and product is organized. Orders are then pulled, packed, and shipped out. We pack boxes to ship via UPS, and we stack and wrap pallets to ship LTL. This job requires attention to detail and a strong safety mindset. You must also be able to lift 30 lbs. regularly, and up to 80 lbs. occasionally. The warehouse crew is on their feet most of the day on a concrete floor. Knowledge of shipping software and QuickBooks is a plus. Forklift skills would also be helpful.

Health Insurance: Employees working at least 26 hours per week qualify for Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage after 60 days. The employee contribution is $50 a month.
Predictable hours: We operate 9-5, Monday through Friday.
Sampling Allowance: We ask that employees take our products home to test in their own kitchens. This improves employee product knowledge.
Semi-regular happy hour at the end of the day on Friday.
Convenient location: We are located near the 1st Avenue S bridge. There is a bus stop about ½ mile away. DO NOT APPLY IN PERSON!
Wages:
Wages vary depending on experience, and whether you choose to participate in the health insurance plan. Starting hourly wage range is $17.25 – 18.50 with health insurance. Without health insurance, the current Seattle minimum wage applies (currently $19.97/hour).

Anyone know “Grandma Koeppen?” I found some keys and a couple lanyards with her name while out on a walk in West Seattle. They were stuck in a bush near SW Charlestown and 52nd. There is a Jefferson Elementary (Bruins) in Tacoma, but I thought I would check locally first.

Off the street in an clearing of the woods there is a line up of old rusty broken down cars and trucks. I know this area is hard to determine who is responsible, not city of Seattle, is it King County? Too far out of Seattle for find it fix it…
Anyone smell the bad smell in the air tonight? I live near Wholefoods, and was able to smell it as soon as I stepped outside, and all the way up the hill to the Junction. I didn’t go past there since I didn’t have to but I’m sure it’s in a wide area. Makes me think of something like “Aroma of Tacoma” Smells like it could be some kind of industrial type pollution. Caused a headache and hurt my throat. Hope it goes away soon!

Hey West Seattleites – we are looking for a kind and patient nanny for ~4 months for after school care. Our kids attend school in West Seattle and we live near Alki. We are willing to pay $30+/hr, depending on experience. A typical day would include pickup at 3 pm, helping with homework, preparing snacks, and shuttling to after school activities. Some very light housekeeping and dinner prep for the kids will be needed before signing off around 7:30 or 8 pm will also be needed. You must have a clean driving record and reliable transportation. Our 6-year-old is neuro divergent and very active, and therefore will need some patience and engagement to be motivated to leave the playground or get out the door, but she is very sweet and manageable. Experience with neuro divergent is a strong plus, but a willingness to learn how to engage and motivate is equally valuable. Our 11-year-old 6th grader is studious, kind, and independent and is involved in sports. If interested, please contact Beau Schilz at beau.schilz@gmail.com or text 617-290-5132. Thanks!
