Pop culture toymaker Funko moving Everett warehouse operations to AZ

EVERETT, Wash. — Everett’s pop culture toymaker Funko is relocating its warehouse operations to suburban Phoenix.

The move was somewhat expected since Funko leased a massive Arizona facility in October.

Its two current distribution centers near Paine Field will close.

Funko told the Daily Herald it will support its Everett workers during the transition, including possible relocation.

Hundreds of jobs are at stake.

The company’s corporate headquarters are located in downtown Everett.
