VANCOUVER – The Port of Vancouver USA’s popular public tours are back again in 2024 with 10 tours offered between May and September. Each tour features a briefing about the Columbia Snake River System and how cargo moves on the river, an overview of the port’s commercial and industrial operations, budget, governance and a look at current projects.

The free public tours start and end at the port’s administration office and feature light snacks and refreshments. After the briefing, participants board a bus for a behind-the-scenes look at the port’s marine terminals, rail infrastructure and industrial facilities.  Tour dates and times for 2024 are:

  • Thursday, May 9, 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
