Mission

The mission of the Port of Olympia is to create economic opportunities by connecting Thurston County to the world by air, land and sea.

The Port of Olympia has a proud history in Thurston County. It serves the community in a wide variety of ways, leading the way for many of the area's economic development efforts.

Businesses

From the commercial center at NewMarket Industrial Campus and the diversified specialty Marine Terminal to the vibrant Swantown Marina and Boatworks and the strategically located Olympia Regional Airport, the Port of Olympia is committed to fostering economic growth of the South Puget Sound region and serving the needs of global customers.

Essentially one business with four divisions, the Port promotes economic development through its business operations and economic development tools, such as its four-county foreign-trade zone. Land and infrastructure improvements are provided to encourage business development, and some areas, such as the Port Plaza, are earmarked for recreation and public access.
