The Port of Tacoma saw a rise in containers, autos, logs and breakbulk in the first quarter.
A surge in auto imports and log exports helped the Port of Tacoma meet its financial and business activity goals in this year’s first quarter, port executives told the Port of Tacoma commission this week.
That business upturn boosted the port’s bottom line income by $4.8 million over the port’s own first quarter budget projections. That increase was positively affected, too, by capital projects that initially were set for the first quarter that have been delayed until later in the year.
