Our Story

As one of the first ports in the state of Washington, the Port of Longview has long prided itself on its hard working labor force and deep roots in the state’s blue-collar industries. A collection of hardy longshoremen, millwrights and other laborers and operators who work hard and play hard, thinking up custom solutions and innovations that ultimately help businesses thrive.

Supported by a management team that’s not afraid to get their hands dirty, when there is work to be done, its all hands on deck – literally and figuratively. More than its stalwart crew, the Port works for the community as an economic driver for a variety of industries and businesses within Longview and the surrounding area.

The Port of Longview creates jobs, supports local programs and contributes revenue back to the community to continually improve the quality of life for its residents. On a larger scale, the Port works for national and worldwide commerce. Serving as the connection point between Washington’s exports and the rest of the world, the Port of Longview makes international trade possible, whereby supporting the global economy as well as our national infrastructure.

We are Washington’s Working Port.
