Prime Now is a benefit available through the mobile app exclusively for Prime members. We’ve tested just about every type of delivery service at the GeekWire offices, so we thought to ourselves, why should this be an exception?
Amazon Prime Now, the online marketplace’s one-hour delivery service, is now available in Seattle and a few surrounding cities, the company announced Tuesday. Prime Now will also be available to customers in Bellevue, Redmond, and Kirkland. Prime Now has previously rolled out in Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Indianapolis, Manhattan, and Miami.
Prime Now, however, does not feature the same broad selection of grocery items as on AmazonFresh, but the two services could see continued integration in the future.

You’ll need to enter your zip code at the company’s website to confirm that Amazon’s instant gratification service is really available at your address. For an additional $7.99, members can receive their items in one hour. Amazon boasts that tens of thousands of items can be purchased through Prime Now, including paper towels, wine, beer, milk, ice cream, TVs and Kindle devices. Amazon notes that anyone can install the app and will then be notified when the service launches in their region.
