its Seattle-based fulfillment center at 3900 South Spokane Street. The closure will affect approximately 200 of its employees.
The decision to close the Seattle fulfillment center came as Zulily seeks to slim down operations in order to focus on growth in other parts of its business. The company said that it will make every effort to place affected employees in other positions within the company, and those who cannot be placed will be offered a severance package. Additionally, Zulily will be providing resources to assist these employees in finding new employment.
