Port of Port Angeles

What Port of Port Angeles does

The Port of Port Angeles is a Washington State port district organized under RCW Chapter 53 and headquartered at 338 W. First Street in Port Angeles, Washington. Established in 1925 (firmographic data lists 1923), it manages a portfolio of public infrastructure on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, including William R. Fairchild International Airport (CLM) and Sekiu Airport, six marine terminals, three marina facilities (John Wayne Marina, Port Angeles Boat Haven, and Port Angeles Boat Yard), the Marine Trade Center, the Marine Trades Industrial Park with wash-down facility, the Port Log Yard, the Intermodal Handling & Transfer Facility, and approximately 66 acres of industrial real estate across the Marine Trade Center, Composite Manufacturing Campus, and South Airport Industrial Park. It also administers Foreign Trade Zone #303 and is the closest deep-water port to the Pacific Rim.

The Port generates revenue through three principal streams: property and land leases across industrial parks, manufacturing facilities, marina slips, and airport hangars; usage-based marine services including marina moorage, haul-out, wash-down facilities, and terminal cargo handling; and usage-based airport services including landing fees, tie-down fees, hangar rentals, and pilot lounge rental. Lease rates are quoted per square foot annually (e.g., $4.80/sf/year at the 1010 Building), with some assets bundled with utilities and infrastructure (e.g., 1500 KVA 3-phase power, fiber internet). GTM is sales-led and direct, with no intermediaries or resellers, targeted at marine trades companies, aviation operators, industrial manufacturers, log/forest products businesses, and recreational/commercial boaters on the North Olympic Peninsula.

Key customers include FedEx, Life Flight Network, Citizen Air, Angeles Communications, Westport Shipyard, Platypus Marine, and Port Angeles Boat Haven tenants. The Port has received multiple Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) grants and loans totaling several million dollars for marine trades, barge terminal, broadband planning, and feasibility-study work. Governance is via an elected Port Commission, and the organization partners through interlocal agreements with the City of Port Angeles, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, other Washington ports, USDA, and Washington State Department of Commerce.

Core offering

The Port of Port Angeles operates a public port district providing physical infrastructure and related services including six marine terminals, two airports (William R. Fairchild International Airport and Sekiu Airport), marina facilities (Port Angeles Boat Haven and John Wayne Marina), the Port Angeles Boat Yard, the Marine Trade Center, industrial parks for lease, a Log Yard, and Foreign Trade Zone #303. Revenue is generated by leasing industrial and commercial properties, charging usage-based fees for moorage, aviation, and cargo handling, and managing trade, economic development, and community programs for the North Olympic Peninsula.

Product overview

The Port of Port Angeles is a public port authority operating physical infrastructure assets rather than a software product. Its portfolio consists of six marine terminals and supporting cargo facilities; two airports (William R. Fairchild International Airport CLM and Sekiu Airport); three marina facilities (John Wayne Marina, Port Angeles Boat Haven, and launch ramps); boat yard services; the Marine Trade Center and Marine Trades Industrial Park with a wash-down facility; the Log Yard for forest products export; industrial parks and commercial properties for lease (including the 1010 Building at the Composite Manufacturing Campus); the Intermodal Handling & Transfer Facility for multimodal logistics; and Foreign Trade Zone #303 for trade facilitation. The Port also operates public-facing digital tools including webcams, a GIS mapping center, and an online payments portal. These assets collectively support economic development, job creation, maritime commerce, and aviation for the North Olympic Peninsula, with no unified software platform or modular product architecture.
