Northwest Seaport Alliance Update at February 12th Luncheon

Dick Marzano,
Port of Tacoma Commissioner

Now that the Northwest Seaport Alliance is up and running, we've asked Port of Tacoma Commissioner, Dick Marzano, to provide an update for our members about how the merger is impacting the Port of Tacoma.  

With the recent merge, the combined ports of Tacoma and Seattle form the third-largest container gateway in North America.  The Northwest Seaport Alliance delivers less congestion, closer proximity to Asia and deep ties to Alaska.  Their naturally deep-water harbors and ability to handle a wide range of cargo makes them ideally suited to meet the growing needs of Pacific Rim trade.

After last year's slow down at the Port, we anticipate a more positive update about the new organization's impact on our region and it's vision for the future.

Location: Parametrix – 1019 39th Ave SE #100, Puyallup, WA 98374

Program: 11:30-1:00pm
