Building Access, Routing & Statutory Intake Notes
- CRITICAL ROUTING RULE: Do NOT send process servers to Amazon's Day 1 Tower in Seattle or Microsoft's Redmond campus reception desks to serve corporate summonses, employment subpoenas, or wage garnishments! Campus security will turn servers away and direct them to CSC in Tumwater.
- Both Amazon.com, Inc. (plus Amazon.com Services LLC / Amazon Web Services, Inc.) and Microsoft Corporation officially designate Corporation Service Company (CSC), 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 208, Tumwater, WA 98501 as their statutory Registered Agent on the WA Secretary of State CCFS registry.
- Our Thurston County couriers visit 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 208 every business day for immediate intake.
Why Amazon.com and Microsoft Must Be Served at CSC in Tumwater (Not Seattle or Redmond)
Every week, out-of-state law firms and self-represented litigants attempt to serve corporate lawsuits, third-party employment/records subpoenas, or wage garnishments on Amazon at its South Lake Union headquarters in Seattle (410 Terry Ave N) or on Microsoft at its corporate campus in Redmond (One Microsoft Way). Inevitably, corporate campus security refuses reception delivery—because neither Amazon nor Microsoft accepts walk-in statutory service of process at their corporate campuses!
Instead, on the Washington Secretary of State's Corporations and Charities Filing System (CCFS), both Amazon.com, Inc. (along with its key operating subsidiaries, including Amazon.com Services LLC, Amazon Web Services, Inc., and Amazon Logistics, Inc.) and Microsoft Corporation designate Corporation Service Company (CSC), located at 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 208, Tumwater, WA 98501 in Thurston County, as their official statutory Registered Agent under RCW 23.95.450.
Serving Employment Subpoenas, Wage Garnishments & UIDDA Subpoenas on Amazon & Microsoft
Whether you are serving a Continuing Lien on Earnings (Wage Garnishment under RCW 6.27.110 and RCW 6.27.350) targeting a Washington software engineer or warehouse employee, a family law subpoena for W-2/RSU stock vesting records, a civil Subpoena Duces Tecum for marketplace seller or cloud account records, or a commercial Summons and Complaint, personal delivery to CSC at 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 208 in Tumwater establishes immediate, indisputable service of process.
Important entity-naming tip for Amazon serves: if you are serving an employment records subpoena or a wage garnishment for a warehouse/corporate employee, check the employee's W-2 or paystub, or name both "Amazon.com, Inc." and "Amazon.com Services LLC" (which is the primary payroll/operating subsidiary for U.S. employees), both of which are served at CSC, 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 208, Tumwater, WA 98501.
UIDDA Domestication for Out-of-State Attorneys & Daily Tumwater Dispatch

Our office handles the entire two-step workflow: (1) submitting your foreign subpoena to the Superior Court Clerk for issuance under RCW 5.51.020, and (2) personally serving the issued Washington subpoena on CSC at 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 208 in Tumwater.
Because our Thurston County servers visit 300 Deschutes Way SW every single business day, you pay flat local rates—$75 Standard, $120 Rush, or $175 Same-Day—and receive your signed Washington GR 13 Declaration of Service immediately after intake.
