Washington is one of the most trade-intensive states in the U.S., anchored by the Port of Seattle and the Port of Tacoma, which together form the third-largest container gateway in North America. The state is a major exporter of aerospace products, agricultural commodities including wheat and apples, and technology goods, with Asia-Pacific markets representing its largest trading partners. Washington also shares a northern land border with Canada, adding significant cross-border trade volume.
Washington's largest export sectors are aerospace and aircraft parts (led by Boeing), agricultural products including wheat, apples, and hops, and technology and software products centered around the Puget Sound region.
Washington's top trading partners are China, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and India, reflecting the state's strong orientation toward Asia-Pacific markets through its major seaports.
The Northwest Seaport Alliance, comprising the ports of Seattle and Tacoma, is the third-largest container complex in North America and handles tens of millions of metric tons of cargo annually, making it critical to Washington's import and export activity.
