Port of Tacoma

The Port of Tacoma is one of the top 10 container ports in North America and one of the shortest and most efficient land-sea connections between Asia and the U.S. Midwest.

We handle more than $34 billion of trade per year in containerized cargoes, roll-on/roll-off, bulk, breakbulk and heavy-lift cargoes. Located in the Pacific Northwest in Washington state, the Port of Tacoma offers shorter U.S. to Asia sailing times and gets produce to market faster.

• One day shorter sailing time than Southern California ports.
• Gateway to Alaska since 1976. Tacoma handles 80 percent of waterborne commerce from the lower 48 states to Alaska, equaling about $3 billion in trade.
• One of the largest and most successful Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ #86).

Our naturally deep-water harbor can handle the largest ships in service today and are ready for the superships of tomorrow. Already one of the largest West Coast ports, Tacoma offers a pro-business environment with significant capacity to support future trade growth.
