How Ports are Governed
Port districts in Washington are unique: they are governed by an elected commission, independent of other local jurisdictions. Commissioners are elected to either four- or six-year terms; if there are five members of a commission, they hold office for four years, which is the case for our five-member Port Commission. If there are three members, the term is six years. Commissioners may hold either district-specific or at-large positions, depending on port district policy. The Port of Anacortes has district-specific positions.
Port commissions establish long-term strategies for a port district, and create policies to guide the development, growth, and operation of the port. They are also responsible for a port’s annual budgets and approving tax levy rates. The Port of Anacortes Commission hires an Executive Director who directs Port staff.
