What moves through Seattle-Tacoma
The Puget Sound terminals land the Northwest's import economy, meaning retail and ecommerce inventory, consumer goods and components flowing off transpacific services into the region's distribution networks and onward by rail to the interior. The export side runs just as hard, with Washington's agricultural economy shipping apples, hay, potatoes and processed food to Asia, forest products moving through the gates and the region's manufacturing, anchored by one of the world's great aerospace clusters, feeding components and finished goods both directions.
Around the gateway runs a major metro economy in its own right, with distribution serving four million people, food networks moving the state's harvest and a manufacturing base that ships precision freight with precision expectations.
The corridors that carry it
I-5 carries the coastal spine from the border at Blaine down through Portland and to California, and I-90 runs east over the passes, connecting the Sound to the agricultural interior and the northern transcontinental lanes. The passes are the planning constant, since winter closures and chain requirements shape eastbound schedules for months at a time, and freight that budgets for the mountains keeps its promises while freight that ignores them apologizes.
