History

The port came into being on November 4, 1958 by the citizens of the Mattawa area. During the 1950s and 1960s, the port district focused on industrial development.[1]

In 1964, the Port of Mattawa joined the Washington Public Ports Association.[1]

In 1997 the port purchased properties for business development.[1]

In 2008 the port received funding through loans and grants to create a wastewater facility for wine processing.[1]

Management

The current Executive Director, since 2006, is Robert J. Adler, Jr. There are also three members of the Board of Commissioners: James Wise (District 1), Lauri Dayton (District 2), and Glenn Leland (District 3).[2]
