This summer, Port of Tacoma staff hit the ground running, meeting with Pierce County residents at a variety of community events. From hosting booths at Tacoma Pride and MOSAIC, to cheering on performances at Puyallup Concerts in the Park, the Port team made meaningful connections across the region.  

Port staff also connected with neighbors at farmers markets in Orting, Gig Harbor, Dupont, and Lakewood, sharing information, sparking conversations and handing out the ever-popular Port duckies. 

Check out the gallery below to see highlights of some of the best moments from these events. 

The Port will wrap up the season with one final appearance at the Tacoma Broadway Farmers Market on August 21. Attendees are invited to stop by, say hello, and pick up a complimentary Port ducky to take home!
