On the final day of Women’s History Month, we recognize a trailblazer in our organization, Port of Skagit District 2 Commissioner Melanie Mankamyer. Commissioner Mankamyer was appointed to the Port of Skagit Commission in 2024 and then successfully ran for the elected office in 2025. She is the first woman to serve as a Port of Skagit Commissioner in our Port’s 62-year history.
Commissioner Mankamyer brings her nearly 30 years of experience as a Civil Engineer to her position on the Port Commission. The variety of projects and clients she managed during her career has prepared her to take on the work of a Port Commissioner with an experienced and thoughtful approach.
The Port is pleased to recognize and thank Commissioner Mankamyer for her dedication to public service, and her steady governance on the Port of Skagit Commission.

The team of staff from the Port of Skagit planted 190 native trees and shrubs along new trails at the SWIFT Center.

The plantings were added to the new Winfield and Quarry Trails at the SWIFT Center. Port staff from Skagit Regional Airport, La Conner Marina, SWIFT Center, and the Administrative Office planted nearly 200 trees and shrubs, ranging from Western Red Cedar and Big Leaf Maple, to Oceanspray and Red Flowering Currant, with a coordinated plan to place more flowering shrubs near benches and viewpoints for trail users to enjoy.

The planting work party was a team effort that provided additional labor to the project as well as a great team-building opportunity for Port staff. This event also provided a head start on plantings in the high-profile areas of the new trail system before the larger scale riparian restoration work begins in 2027 with the support of a Washington State Department of Ecology grant, in partnership with Skagit County.

The Port of Skagit has a long history of environmental stewardship work, including the responsible management of wetlands and forested lands, and creating 10+ miles of nature trails, in lieu of curbs and sidewalks, during the development of Bayview Business Park in Burlington, to better complement and support the natural landscape of the forested business park.

The Port is honored to be a part of this event and this project!

SEDRO-WOOLLEY — With the snip of oversized ceremonial scissors, a wide blue ribbon fluttered onto water-covered concrete as Mayor Julia Johnson officially opened Olmsted Park on a soggy Friday afternoon.

Last week Commissioner Mahlon Hull, Executive Director Sara Young and Communications Director Linda Tyler from our Port of Skagit team visited our local legislators during the Washington Public Ports Association Port Day in Olympia. We are so appreciative of the hospitality and time that each legislator provided, as we updated them on Port projects, needs, success stories and future plans. Already looking forward to next year!
