Started on two bikes. Still moving fast.
Local last-mile & same-day delivery for the businesses of Puget Sound.
Meridian Relay started in 2016 with two cargo bikes and one promise: a Seattle business should be able to send a package across town and watch it move in real time. Eight years on we run a mixed fleet of cargo vans, cars, and e-bikes across the Puget Sound metro, dispatched from a live desk that sees every route. We are insured and bonded, our drivers are background-checked and HIPAA-trained, and every delivery ends with a photo or signature proof. We are not a freight line and we do not move households — we move the parcels, specimens, filings, and online orders that local businesses need there today.
