In order to accomplish this we will: 
Position the Puget Sound region as a premier international
logistics hub

business gateway 
Use our influence as an institution to promote small business
growth and workforce development 
Be the greenest and most energy efficient port in North America

Other Century Agenda Roundtables 


We will use the Port's real estate, capital assets
and financial capabilities to accomplish our
Century Agenda goals. 
We regard these as tools to thoughtfully steward,
rather than areas well suited for specific 25-year
goals.
