New cargo terminal opens at Port of Everett

The Port of Everett officially launches its new Norton terminal, the first all new cargo terminal to open on the United States West Coast in more than a decade.

The US$40 million maritime infrastructure investment introduces over 160,000 m² of new upland cargo capacity to the national freight network to further enhance the movement of commerce throughout the global supply chain.

The new facility also nearly doubles the Port of Everett Seaport’s cargo handling footprint, fully realising the port’s recent US$57 million investment in its South Terminal Modernization that added another full-service berth in Everett in 2021 to support larger ships and heavier cargo.

“With most trade-compatible properties along our nation’s waterways already spoken for, it’s extremely rare to see an all-new cargo facility come online and add much-needed capacity to a strained logistics chain – which we have all had a front row seat to witness over the past year,” commented Port of Everett CEO, Lisa Lefeber.

According to Port of Everett, which is located in Washington state on Port Gardner Bay at the mouth of the Snohomish River, the Norton Terminal project, conducted in partnership with the Washington State Department of Ecology, integrated the property’s cleanup requirements with redevelopment, completing the final physical cleanup of the uplands at a site that supported nearly 90 years of mill operations.

It was funded in part by a US$17.75 million federal BUILD grant and US$9.15 million in Washington State Department of Ecology MTCA grants.
