Westport Marina Redevelopment Project

The Port of Grays Harbor owns and operates Westport Marina and upland properties within the Westport Marina District. The marina has moorage spaces for nearly 550 boats, including recreational boats and charter and commercial fishing vessels. The Marina District contains a mix of uses, with industry in the southern portion and tourist-oriented commercial uses in the northern part of the district. The marina and Marina District were evaluated to determine how to continue to meet existing demands, anticipate future demands of marina users, and effectively use the Port-owned properties. The redevelopment plan was prepared based on the demand analysis. The plan includes marina reconfiguration, addition of new facilities, and upgrade of utilities and public services. The plan proceeded to the design phase for the key elements selected for initial development. These elements include a new boat haul-out dock, reconfiguration of several floating docks, and a new boatyard facility. The redevelopment project has been completed to use the Port's resources to facilitate, enhance, and stimulate economic development and tourism for the long-term betterment of the entire region.
