Port of Tacoma
The
Port of Tacoma is a major center for container cargo, bulk, breakbulk, autos and heavy-lift cargo.
Created by Pierce County citizens in 1918, the Port of Tacoma has
become one of the largest container ports in North America and one of
the top 50 in the world.
Located on Commencement Bay, a
natural deep-water harbor in South Puget Sound, the port is ideally
situated for creating jobs through Pacific Rim trade.
The port encompasses about 2,400 acres of land on the Tacoma Tideflats.
