A delivery pay floor that stops at the city line
Seattle is one of the very few places in the United States where app delivery has a legal minimum. It comes from the city's own App-Based Worker Minimum Payment Ordinance (the PayUp law), in force since January 2024, which for 2026 sets 47 cents per engaged minute plus 80 cents per engaged mile, or $5.34 an offer, whichever is more. Tips go on top.
Read the floor for what it leaves out. It does not pay for the time you spend waiting for the next offer: engaged time runs from the moment you accept an offer until it is done. And it is a Seattle rule. Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, Kent and SeaTac are separate cities, where delivery has no floor at all unless you accepted the job inside Seattle or drive part of it there.
Water, hills and a toll on the way to the Eastside
Seattle sits between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, and the water shapes every shift. Two highways cross the lake to the Eastside on floating bridges: I-90 carries no toll, while the 520 bridge charges $4.90 with a Good To Go! pass at the weekday peaks of 7 to 10am and 3 to 7pm, the rate since August 2024, and $6.90 by mail. The 99 tunnel under downtown is tolled too. On a delivery, or an empty run back across the lake, the toll comes out of your pocket, which is why plenty of couriers pick one side of the water and stay there.
The hills and the weather do the rest. Queen Anne, Capitol Hill and First Hill climb steeply out of downtown, hard going on a bike without a motor, and the wet season that runs from fall into spring slows every route. Demand gathers around clear poles: the offices of downtown and South Lake Union, the evening trade on Capitol Hill and in Ballard, game nights at Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park, and the tech campuses in Bellevue and Redmond, outside the city limits. Farther south, Kent has a large and growing warehouse district, a steady source of scheduled parcel work.

Coverage
Covering Seattle and King County
We match couriers and drivers across Seattle and out into King County, from downtown, Capitol Hill and Ballard across Lake Washington to Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond, and south through Tukwila and Renton to Kent. The Seattle pay rules cover the city itself and stop at its limits, so the same shift can cross from one set of rules to another. Food demand is densest in the core and on Capitol Hill, grocery work spreads across the residential north and the Eastside, and parcel blocks come out of the Kent Valley. Tell us your ZIP code and we will line you up with what is hiring near you.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about driving in Seattle
Does the Seattle delivery minimum pay for the time I spend waiting for orders?
No. The city ordinance pays 47 cents per engaged minute and 80 cents per engaged mile for 2026, or $5.34 per offer if that is more, and engaged time starts when you accept an offer and ends when you complete it or it is canceled. Time logged in between offers is not covered. Tips are on top and cannot count toward the minimum. The city's first report on the ordinance, published in April 2026, found that base pay became the main part of what delivery workers earn while tips and bonuses shrank, so plan on the floor rather than on generous tipping.
Do the Seattle pay rules apply in Bellevue, Redmond or Kent?
Only partly, and this is where couriers get tripped up. Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, Kent, Tukwila and SeaTac are separate cities. The city delivery floor covers a whole offer when you accept it inside Seattle, and only the Seattle part of a job that started outside. An order you take and finish in Bellevue has no floor at all.
Does the Seattle minimum wage cover app delivery?
Only employees. Seattle's minimum wage is $21.30 an hour starting January 1, 2026, and the Washington rate is $17.13, but app delivery is independent contractor work, so neither applies to it. What does apply is the city delivery minimum. Everything you earn on top of it is revenue rather than wages, and gas, insurance, vehicle costs and self-employment tax come out of it.
Can a delivery company deactivate me in Seattle without warning?
Not without following set steps, since January 1, 2025. Under the city's App-Based Worker Deactivation Rights Ordinance, delivery companies must publish a deactivation policy, give 14 days' notice in most cases with the reasons and the records behind them, and let you challenge the decision, with 90 days to do so. Immediate deactivation is still allowed for egregious misconduct. Until June 2027 the city can only check that the process was followed, not whether the reason was fair.
Can I deliver for several companies in Seattle?
Yes, and the floor makes it easier to plan. It applies offer by offer, so inside Seattle you keep the minimum on every order, whichever app sent it. One way to split a Seattle day is a parcel block or grocery batches in the daytime, then food delivery on Capitol Hill or in Ballard in the evening. Service Club is one signup for all of them, so the paperwork happens once.
Do I need to pay Service Club anything to use it?
No, nothing at any point. Service Club is free for drivers, and the companies we connect you to are the ones who pay us. Every dollar the companies pay you, tips included, stays yours.
