Piloting in Washington State

Puget Sound Pilots Association members are highly skilled, specially trained ship captains who board oil tankers, cargo vessels and cruise ships to guide them safely through Puget Sound waters. Our pilots are independent professionals who work on behalf of the citizens of Washington State.

Located on Washington State’s Pacific Coast, the Port of Grays Harbor operates seven lines of business throughout Grays Harbor County including 4 deep-water marine terminals with dual Class 1 rail service and available marine terminal uplands. Our expert pilots safely and efficiently guide every deep-water ship to berth within the Grays Harbor Pilotage District.
