The Washington Public Ports Association (WPPA) is a Washington-based organization that represents public port authorities and related interests. It was established by the Legislature in 1961 to advance policy and practice affecting the state's port community. The organization pursues its mission through government relations, educational initiatives, and advocacy programs. Based in Olympia, WPPA serves as a conduit for policy input and coordination among ports, aiming to support the state’s economy and residents' quality of life. It is described as a small to mid-sized entity, reflecting a focused scope of activity within the government relations space. In March 2026, the Port of Olympia joined WPPA's Maritime Industrial Base Coalition, reflecting ongoing collaboration to bolster the state’s shipbuilding competitiveness.
