Burlington, Washington

Salary:  $70,000 - $85,000

The Port of Skagit is located in Skagit County, Washington, halfway between Seattle, and Vancouver, Canada. The region stands out as cost-competitive, with lower tax rates, industrial land and building costs, and median home prices compared to the nearby major metropolitan areas, and benefits from convenient access by highway, rail, air, and sea, including proximity to three international airports and seaports. Skagit County has a population of approximately 127,000 people, and the region is known as being one of the fastest growing counties in the state. With the San Juan Islands, Mount Baker and the Skagit County farmlands in the region’s backyard, there is plenty of natural beauty to explore, and seasonal events include the famous Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Agriculture is one of the largest industries in Skagit County. Other significant industries include aerospace and marine manufacturing, construction, and health care, as well as retail and services.

Governed by a board of three commissioners, the Port of Skagit operates on a 2024 budget of $12 million with approximately 36 FTEs, and owns and operates five key facilities: the Skagit Regional Airport, the Bayview Business Park, Watershed Business Park, SWIFT Center and the La Conner Marina. The Real Estate Department is responsible for developing and implementing real estate programs that drive economic growth and improve the Port’s financial performance, while seeking the highest and best use of port properties. Historically, the department’s day-to-day operation is the responsibility of the Director with strong administrative support. This collaborative approach has been highly successful in meeting the long-term needs and goals of the Port. The Leasing Administrator serves as a key participant on the Port’s Real Estate Team and manages the Port’s leasing portfolio, including buildings and land.
