About the Port

The Port of Longview has been operating since 1921 and today has eight marine terminals and waterfront industrial property located on the deep-draft Columbia River, 66 miles from the Pacific Ocean in southwest Washington State.

The Port plays an important role in economic development by creating jobs in manufacturing and international trade. It develops infrastructure to support these jobs at its marine terminals and industrial property, creating a positive economic ripple that strengthens the local community.

Since 1921 international trade has grown and the types of cargos handled by the Port have diversified. Cargo handling specialties include all types of bulk cargos and breakbulk commodities such as steel, lumber, logs, pulp, paper, wind energy, project and heavy-lift cargo.

We hope the information in this section provides you with a good overview of the Port of Longview.
