Now celebrating its 100th year in 2011, Grays Harbor celebrated the shipment of its billionth foot of timber in 1924.
Port of Grays Harbor officials got another reason to celebrate as the Washington Public Port Association named the local district as 2011 Port of the Year just in time for the Port’s 100 year anniversary. The association represents 76 port districts throughout the state.
Port of Grays Harbor officials reported the local district was selected among several nominations because of successful cargo diversification in recent years. The Port was also honored in 1991.
