Founded in 1934, our membership has grown to include over 150 entities. For over 85 years, PNWA members have advocated for efficient, reliable, and environmentally sustainable waterways. Established as Inland Empire Waterways Association in 1934, PNWA's first act was to petition President Roosevelt and Congress for funds to secure a navigation lock at Bonneville Dam. PNWA then led the way for Congressional authorization and funding to build the remaining seven locks and dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers. In 1971 we expanded, adding Puget Sound and coastal members to provide a comprehensive regional perspective. Our membership has grown to include public ports, tug and barge companies, steamship operators, grain elevator operators, agricultural producers, forest products manufacturers, electric utilities, irrigation districts, other businesses, public agencies, and individuals throughout Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.) - https://www.pnwa.net/about/
