About

The commissioners of the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma announced in 2014 that the two ports would join forces rather than compete, and The Northwest Seaport Alliance was officially formed in August 2015 after public outreach and approval from the Federal Maritime Commission.

The NWSA is a Federal Maritime Commission approved port development authority governed by the two ports as equal managing members, each acting through its five elected commissioners. The ports remain separate organizations that retain ownership of their assets. The managing members hold regular public meetings on the first Tuesday of the month. The NWSA participates in the Green Marine environmental certification program, and marine cargo operations at its facilities are reported to support over 52,000 jobs in Washington State.
