Amazon Fresh is now available in more areas in West Seattle, and in the neighbourhoods of Lake Union and Montlake.

The service offers thousands of fresh, frozen and ambient lines, with three delivery options:

• Pre-dawn delivery left on customers’ doorsteps in temperature-controlled boxes
• Next-day delivery within a one-hour time slot
• Same-day local pick-up

Amazon began trialling the service at the beginning of August 2007 in the district of Mercer Island, to the east of Seattle.
