A Costco Business Center is a specialized warehouse designed primarily for business customers—offering bulk-only inventory like janitorial supplies, restaurant disposables, and office essentials, most of which isn’t found in regular Costco stores. If you’re searching for a Costco Business Center in “Washington,” it’s important to distinguish between Washington State (near Seattle) and Washington, D.C.—only Washington State has an actual Costco Business Center at this time. In Washington, D.C., business customers must rely on Costco Business Delivery or standard Costco warehouses.
