Pacific Northwest Gateway

Tacoma-Pierce County is strategically located just 40 minutes south of Seattle, flanked by the southern shores of Washington state’s Puget Sound to the west and the iconic 14,000-foot tall Mount Rainier to the east. Equally distanced from markets in Asia and Europe, we’re a major gateway to Asia for outbound trade and to the U.S. interior for inbound cargo.
