PNWA quoted in the Associated Press over the weekend. "But Neil Maunu, executive director of the Pacific Northwest Waterways Association, said it learned more than 150 Army Corps workers in Portland, Oregon, were told they would be terminated and they expect to lose about 600 more in the Pacific Northwest. The firings include “district chiefs down to operators on vessels” and people critical to safe river navigation, he said." https://lnkd.in/gpSB3abf #PNWA #Waterways #MarineHighway #RiverNavigation #Infrastructure #JobCuts #Dams

PNWA is a non-profit, non-partisan trade association supporting navigation, energy, trade, and economic development.
About us
The Pacific Northwest Waterways Association has been a non-profit, non-partisan collaboration of ports, barge companies, steamship operators, farmers, terminals, union labor, forest products manufacturers, utilities, irrigation districts, and public agencies throughout Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. PNWA’s members work together to advocate for navigation, energy, trade and environmental restoration and stewardship throughout the region. Established in 1934, as the Inland Empire Waterways Association, PNWA’s first act was to petition President Roosevelt and Congress for funds to secure a navigation lock at Bonneville Dam. PNWA then led the way for Congressional authorization and funding to build the remaining seven navigation locks and dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers. In 1971 we expanded, adding Puget Sound and coastal members to provide a comprehensive regional perspective. Our membership has grown to include public ports, tug and barge companies, steamship operators, grain elevator operators, agricultural producers, forest products manufacturers, electric utilities, irrigation districts, other businesses, public agencies, and individuals For 90 years, PNWA has ensured that our waterways are efficient, reliable, and environmentally sustainable.

Our Port Westward facility is doing more than preparing to produce renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, it’s also a major economic driver for Oregon. Port Westward is set to create thousands of jobs and millions in local tax revenue to support communities and infrastructure. By combining economic growth with environmental responsibility, we’re helping build a stronger, cleaner future for Oregon. https://lnkd.in/gWrbqERg #RenewableFuels #CleanEnergy #GreenJobs #SustainableGrowth #NXTCleanFuels #EconomicImpact #PortWestward NXTClean Fuels

Market Development Specialist at the Washington Grain Commission & Crew Chief in the 141st Washington Air National Guard
Mexico is home to the world’s largest baking company, Grupo Bimbo, and one of the largest snack companies, Mondelēz International. Mondelēz International is the global leader in biscuits (cookies & crackers), operating in 80+ countries with brands like Oreo, Ritz, and Belvita. Grupo Bimbo, with 223 bakeries in 35 countries, runs one of the largest direct distribution networks and owns brands like Bimbo, Sara Lee, and Oroweat. Mexico is the #1 market for U.S. hard red winter (HRW) wheat and soft red winter (SRW) wheat and the third largest market for U.S. for hard red spring (HRS) wheat. Strong demand for white wheat this year suggests a potential long-term shift—creating new opportunities for Washington wheat growers. #grain #washingtonwheat #agriculture #exports
Washington wheat is a rising favorite for Mexico's soft white market. In 2024-25, U.S. soft white wheat purchases from Mexico more than doubled due to competitive pricing and promotion, potentially signaling a long-term shift benefiting Washington's wheat growers.
