Port of Port Townsend reports 20th year of no findings in state audits

PORT TOWNSEND — A Port of Port Townsend commissioner said this year’s lack of findings by the state Auditor’s Office represents the port’s 20th consecutive year with no reported financial problems.

“This is an outstanding achievement for the Port of Port Townsend,” said commission President Steve Tucker in a news release.

“The port works very hard to be good stewards of public funds, and reaching a 20-year milestone of clean audits demonstrates to the taxpayers of Jefferson County that our commitment to fiscal responsibility is rock solid.”

The Port of Port Townsend has an annual operating budget of $5.9 million and employs 29 people.
