Port of Tacoma’s Post

Did you see the Alette MAERSK when it called at Husky Terminal last month? Boasting a 16,592 TEU capacity, it was the largest vessel ever to call at The Northwest Seaport Alliance’s South Harbor. It was also the first dual-fuel vessel capable of sailing on green methanol to have visited our gateway. Learn more: bit.ly/4ew0fwX.

To brighten your Sunday, here's a shot from last weekend when Pierce County Terminal enjoyed a #DoubleRainbow moment. Thank you, Cornwell Bradley for sending us this gorgeous photo! #ItsaBeautifulDay at the #PortofTacoma.

It's not your imagination: as we get further into fall, the sunrise keeps coming later. But even when dawn is delayed, the Port is up and running. #ItsaBeautifulDay at the #PortofTacoma.

A straddle-carrier-sized thank you to the more than 2,000 community members who stopped by our Touch-a-Truck event earlier today. It was a joyous morning full of honking horns, great big bubbles, and excitement as kids and their families learned more about the equipment that helps the Port run.

Thank you to all the #PortofTacoma tenants who came to our tenant appreciation reception last night! We are grateful that you have chosen to locate your business here at the Port and we thank you for the work you do every day that supports our community, the economy and jobs in our region.  #tenantappreciation
