How much do security guards cost in Seattle?

Standard pricing is $50 per hour per guard, with a two-hour minimum. The final rate depends on your location and the specifics of the job, and it is confirmed when we match you with the security partner who will cover your site.

Which parts of Seattle do you cover?

We cover Downtown, South Lake Union, Capitol Hill, SODO and Ballard, and the Puget Sound region out to Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, Everett and Tacoma. If your site sits outside that, call (415) 697-0610 and we will tell you whether we have a partner near you.

How soon can you put a guard on site in Seattle?

Tell us the day you need cover and we will come back to you within one business day with a quote and a matched partner. Longer notice gives you more choice of guard, so it is worth calling as early as you can.

Can I book unarmed, armed or off-duty officers in Seattle?

You can ask for unarmed guards, armed guards or off-duty law enforcement officers. Unarmed guards suit most commercial sites. Armed and off-duty officers depend on state licensing rules and on which partners have that staffing available, so we confirm what you can have rather than promising it up front.

Do I have to sign a long contract for security in Seattle?

No. We book one-off events, short-term cover of under a month, and ongoing programmes that run for months or years. The two-hour minimum is the only commitment on a single booking.

Seattle employers tend to arrive at security through one of two doors. Tech campuses in South Lake Union and across the water in Bellevue and Redmond want lobby and badge-desk cover that feels like part of the workplace rather than a barrier, often with visitor volumes that spike hard around events and hiring. Downtown and Westlake retail, and the industrial sites through SODO and Georgetown, want something more visible: patrols, lock-up checks, and an officer who is comfortable dealing with street-level incidents calmly and on the record.

We arrange and manage both: front-desk and badge-desk posts, visitor and contractor management, foot and vehicle patrols, event staffing and overnight standing guards. Schedules and post orders live in our dashboard, so cover survives a shift change without losing the detail that matters on your site.

We work with security partners across Seattle and the Puget Sound region, from Downtown, South Lake Union, Capitol Hill, SODO and Ballard out to Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, Everett and Tacoma. Tell us the site, the hours and the type of guard, and we come back within one business day with a quote and a matched partner.
