General Info:

About PNWA Pacific Northwest Waterways Association has been enhancing the economic vitality of the Pacific Northwest since 1934, and in 2009 we celebrate 75 years of success! PNWA is a collaboration of ports, businesses, public agencies and individuals who combine their economic and political strength in support of navigation, trade and economic development throughout Pacific Northwest Established as Inland Empire Waterways Association in 1934, PNWA's first act was to petition President Roosevelt and Congress for funds to secure a navigation lock at Bonneville Dam. PNWA then led the way for Congressional authorization and funding to build the remaining seven locks and dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers. In 1971 we expanded, adding Puget Sound and coastal members to provide a comprehensive regional perspective. Our membership has grown to include public ports, tug and barge companies, steamship operators, grain elevator operators, agricultural producers, forest products manufacturers, electric utilities, irrigation districts, other businesses, public agencies, and individuals from Alaska through Washington, Oregon and Idaho to Northern California,. With over 75 years of experience and counting, PNWA has been at the helm of ensuring Pacific Northwest waterways are economically viable and environmentally safe.
