Port of Grays Harbor

Port of Grays Harbor

From the Puget Sound Business Journal:

The newly constructed marine terminal rail complex at the Port of Grays Harbor serves as the backdrop for Chryslers being loaded for Asia. The port west of Olympia — once best known for handling giant logs — built more than 37,000 feet of track to speed handling of auto rail cars.

The Port of Grays Harbor, which once made its fortune shipping mighty Northwest logs to Asia, is enjoying a 21st century export boom with a very different kind of cargo — cars.

The port, 50 miles west of Olympia, expects to send about 70,000 Chrysler vehicles overseas this year — more than triple the 22,000 it shipped in 2010.
