Seattle has some of the country's most expensive tech talent. A virtual assistant lets founders and Amazon sellers get help without paying those rates.
Virtual Assistant gives Seattle businesses a dedicated virtual assistant from $260 a month, working Pacific time. You choose the role and the hours, and a US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days.

Why hire your Seattle assistant from Virtual Assistant
Your assistant works remotely and keeps Pacific time business hours, so your day and theirs line up. You get a person who learns your business, with a team behind them when something needs fixing.
- They know the platforms: Your assistant works in Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, WooCommerce, eBay and ShipStation.
- Built for confidential work: An NDA, separate logins and a secure vault protect your board, investor and personal information.
- Careful with your data: Your assistant follows your rules, uses business plans that do not train on your data where available, and never pastes passwords or client records into AI tools.
- Free replacement: If your assistant is not the right fit, we match you with a different one at no extra cost.
- Clear prices, no lock-in: See your exact price before you order. Month-to-month packages can be cancelled any time, and unused hours roll over within your package limit.
- A US account manager: One person matches you, runs your kickoff call and stays your contact if anything needs fixing.
A virtual assistant or an in-house hire?
An in-house hire makes sense when the job needs someone physically on site. For work done on a screen or a phone, a virtual assistant usually costs far less, because you pay only for working hours, with no recruiting, desk, equipment or payroll taxes to arrange. You can also start with 20 hours a month and grow, instead of committing to a full-time salary before you know how much work there is.
