Overview
 

Home to one of the West Coast's largest seafood landing centers and Washington's only deep-water port on the Pacific Coast, the county is emerging as a leader in green manufacturing, from biofuels, paper and wood products, as well as seafood processing, boat building, agriculture and tourism.

Grays Harbor's business community takes advantage of premiere rail access, uncongested four-lane highway to I-5, responsive workforce training programs, and hundreds of acres of industrial and commercial properties equipped with state-of-the-art technology and supporting infrastructure.

There are abundant recreational opportunities on ocean beaches, rivers, forests, lakes and mountains as well as an ideal environment for raising a family.
