The Port has been successful at answering the call to bring economic development to its properties, while maintaining its dedication to preserving and enhancing its dense woods, ponds, wetlands, and meadows. At the same time our industrial parks are surrounded by an environment that is the envy of crowded urban centers, with inspiring views of the San Juan Islands, North Cascade Mountains, and the rich farmlands of the Skagit Valley. Our public schools, parks, and civic institutions are reminiscent of an era when American life was simpler. This is not just an excellent place to locate a business. It's a wonderful place to live.
