NWSA celebrates 50 years of Mazda vehicles crossing the Seattle/Tacoma gateway

The Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA) salutes the fact that for over five decades, Mazda vehicles have been imported through the Seattle and Tacoma gateway.

Mazda’s history in the Pacific Northwest dates back to 14 April 1970, when Mazda’s first vehicle was imported into the Northwest Pacific via Seattle.

Nearly a decade later, Mazda vehicles began to be imported through Tacoma, making Mazda the longest-serving car customer in Tacoma.

So far, 1.9 million Mazda vehicles have been imported through the NWSA portal.

“The Northwest Seaport Alliance is proud to call Mazda a partner and appreciates the many decades of working together. We look forward to celebrating the two-millionth Mazda vehicle to be imported into our gateway very soon” stated the Northwest Seaport Alliance co-chair and Port of Seattle commission president, Ryan Calkins.
