Located on the banks of Puget Sound and equally distanced between Europe and Asia, Tacoma-Pierce County is home to one of the strongest logistics networks on the West Coast. With Seattle-Tacoma International Airport 22 miles north of the region; easy access to the Mexican and Canadian borders and the east and west coast through I-90, I-5; the deep-water Port of Tacoma; and Class 1 Rail service at the tip of your fingers, Pierce County can help you move products and people to their destinations quickly and efficiently.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) provides businesses with non-stop international air cargo routes and is consistently ranked one of the top cargo airports in North America by the Airports Council International.
BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad provide fast transcontinental service, connecting Tacoma-Pierce County to key distribution points across North America, with domestic and short-haul rail services through Tacoma South Intermodal Facility (TacSim).
The Port of Tacoma, our deep-water port, is an epicenter for containerized cargo, bulk, breakbulk, aerospace components, automobiles and more. As part of the Northwest Seaport Alliance, the port is the fourth largest container gateway in North America, making it easy and efficient to ship products across the globe.
Tacoma-Pierce County’s West Coast location conveniently places it on the map of major roadways. I-90 connects the east and west coast of the United States and I-5 connects Southern California to Washington state, touching both the Mexican and Canadian borders. In addition, the Pierce County Washington Planning and Zoning Commission ensures that roadways and local infrastructure are serving the community in the best possible way.
