Later, delegates toured the @PortofTacoma to identify potential opportunities in supply chain logistics and trade, followed by a visit to the Center for Urban Waters in #Tacoma, WA to learn how its work is propelling regional collaboration to restore and protect waterways. (2/3)
We had a sunny tour this week of the @PortofTacoma discussing their major business areas. The Port has some of the worlds largest container lines! We saw some of their zero emission terminal tractors in action and viewed their habitat sites including the salmon recovery area.
