Port of Bellingham Release Marine Trades Impact Study

The Port has released a new impact study for marine trades and Whatcom’s maritime economy, the first study done of our waterfront economy since 2016 when Western Washington University released a report. The Port collaborated with the Whatcom Working Waterfront Coalition, and contracted McKinley Research to author the study and compile the data.

Congratulations to the Port of Bellingham for completing their own maritime economic impact study. This information strongly compliments our Jefferson County Maritime EIS of 2018 and will raise the collective voice of our industry in Washington State and beyond.

It is a big goal to have our study update released in 2025. We hope everyone will participate when contacted by Gwendolyn of Fine Yacht Interiors for information verification. Thank you!
