The Port of Olympia Commission approved the purchase of the Dancing Goats Building on February 11, 2025. The building will support port operations and economic development in Olympia.

The Port issued a SEPA Determination of Nonsignificance for the Olympia Regional Airport Master Plan on February 6, 2025. This allows the airport to move forward with its plans without additional environmental review. An Airport Master Plan Q&A was held on February 12, 2025, with Airport Senior Manager Chris Paolini and Port staff.

The Port also announced a sediment sampling project in Budd Inlet, with a public observation event planned for March 2025. Additionally, the Port welcomed Mike Reid as the new Director of Community and Economic Development on January 8, 2025. The Port will host a Town Hall on a proposed Marine Terminal Temporary Warehouse on November 6, 2024.
