Welcome to the Port of Klickitat!

Established in 1945, the Port has been a cornerstone of transportation and economic development in the Columbia Gorge. To companies of all sizes, we offer access to commercial, industrial facilities, and shovel-ready property.  The Port has two locations, the Bingen Point Business Park with 143 acres and the Dallesport Industrial Park with 660 acres.  The Port owns a quarry operated by James Dean Construction and a water system operated by Klickitat County PUD.   The Port is rehabilitating a rail spur.

Did you know that, on average, small businesses account for nearly sixty percent (60%) of all new jobs created in the United States?  While the "big guys" may get more attention, we recognize the value of their more diminutive siblings.  That's why we work hard to support small businesses, growing companies, and just-out-of-the-garage start-ups.

So what sets us apart? The unique combination of our people, our natural environment, and our business climate. From hardworking residents and helpful Port staff.   The Port calls entrepreneurs, employers, and employees seeking a better quality of life. Those who have answered that call understand the value of being just a few miles east of Portland and Vancouver, but a world away.

The Port provides recreation for our local community with two-day use parks.  The area is perfect for a morning walk with your dog or meeting a colleaue for lunch.   Boaters can launch at the two-lane boat ramp to enjoy the Columbia River with friends and family on a calm day on the water.

To our constituents, we provide economic development by leasing land and facilities to our tenants to provide job creation.  The Port is organized as three (3) districts, with commissioners representing each district.

The Port established this web site in order to deliver important information about the Port to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Whether you are an entrepreneur seeking a place to get started, a business owner looking for room to grow, or a constituent seeking to learn more about your Port district, we hope the information you find here will answer your questions and enhance your understanding of the Port. The Port staff is small in numbers but big in experience.  We accomplish great things with the direction of the Port Commission, that will have lasting economic impacts for years to come.  The Port Commission and staff welcomes the  public to attend the Port Commission meetings.
