The Port of Tacoma’s landscape includes ships, containers, cranes, trucks and rail cars.
We honor a broader definition of “environment" - one that includes the people, businesses, culture and history of a place, along with its native species and natural systems. We live, work and play in a special place. We're committed to keeping it that way.
The Port has invested millions of dollars in a wide range of cleanup and improvement projects in and around Commencement Bay. Port business is directed by our environmental goals, adopted by the Port Commission in January 2008. These goals outline our commitment to:
- Protect land and water
- Restore habitat
- Reduce diesel emissions
- Improve stormwater quality
- Partner with community
- Go beyond compliance
The Port also strives to improve and serve its community. After all, we live and work here, too.
- Port tours - by bus or boat - provide visitors with an up close look at Port operations in the Port industrial area.
- Our speakers bureau connects Port commissioners, executives and staff with community groups.
- Port partnerships with community organizations and groups support a wide variety of events and programs.
