Port of Bremerton

Each year, the Washington Public Ports Association selects one port to honor as the Washington Port of the Year. This award is given to the port that shows the greatest success in the industry as a way to motivate new innovation. The Port of Bremerton was this year's recipient. The Port of Bremerton operates four facilities: Bremerton National Airport, Bremerton Marina, Port Orchard Marina, and Olympic View Industrial Park. During the past year, the port received $15.7 million in funding for the Port Orchard Marina breakwater, hosted U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for a press conference, added an electric charging conduit at Bremerton National Airport, and started community initiatives. The Port of Bremerton is the largest port in Kitsap County, and according to a recent study, has created almost $1.2 billion in economic impact and provides approximately 2,615 jobs. The port has also donated an average of 6,700 pounds of nonperishable items each year to local food banks, started an Earth Day initiative in partnership with the Great Peninsula Conservancy, helped fund over 55 events each year, and helped in the creation of Seabeck's pickleball courts. Jim Rothlin is the port CEO.
