PORT OF VANCOUVER USA UNVEILS VANCOUVER LANDING The first of many projects within the Terminal 1 development is completed The Port of Vancouver USA held a ribbon cutting to unveil the new Vancouver Landing, the first finished public project in the port’s Terminal 1 development. The event took place on the new landing, with speeches by Washington state Senator Annette Cleveland, port CEO, Julianna Marler and port commission president, Jack Burkman. Tanna Engdahl, an elder and spiritual leader from the Cowlitz Tribe, offered a blessing and also spoke briefly. After the event, guests gathered for refreshments in the lobby of the adjacent AC Hotel by Marriott, scheduled to open later this month. This is the first finished project in the Terminal 1 development and was partially funded with capital project funds allocated to the port by the Washington legislature in 2019. The $4.7 million allowed the port to break ground in fall 2019, with full completion of the project by the end of this month. 12
