ECOnorthwest

For 50 years, a diverse range of clients across the United States have trusted ECOnorthwest (ECO) to craft effective and feasible solutions to the complex issues that shape our communities. Our clients have one thing in common—they want insightful, rigorous analysis to strengthen policy and investment decisions. We work at the intersection of neighborhoods and highways, development and conservation, poverty and prosperity—because the choices we make at these intersections matter. To help guide decision-makers, we’ve built a team of experts in economics, urban planning, public policy, finance, demography, geography, and sociology. Our interdisciplinary expertise lights the way to a broader understanding of how policy choices affect peoples’ lives.

ECO has a long history of supporting ports across Washington and the broader Pacific Northwest through deep analysis, strategy development, and advisory services. We have partnered with both major metro-area ports and smaller inland ports to conduct economic impact analyses, develop real estate feasibility and asset management strategies, assess market conditions, explore development concepts, and build partnerships. Our port-focused work helps to create new economic opportunities and advance community benefits.
