Directions to the Port
of Grays Harbor
From the North: Follow
I-5 South to Olympia. Take Exit 104 Aberdeen/Ocean

this highway for approx 45 minutes – it
brings you straight into Aberdeen (you’ll
pass McCleary, Elma & Montesano before
you get to Aberdeen).
From the South: Follow
I-5 North just past Centralia. Take Exit
88B/Hwy 12 West. Hwy 12 goes right into
Elma – just before entering Elma notice
the signs directing to the continuation of
Hwy 12 on to Aberdeen. The highway on-ramp
is on the left just after passing under the
overpass. Continue on Hwy 12 to Aberdeen
approx. 25 minutes.
Hwy 12 brings you right into

- You’ll
be driving straight through town.
- Go past

the Red Lion on your left – note
signs from above directing you straight
ahead to the Port of Grays Harbor – continue
straight ahead through the next two lights – Do
not turn to the right to go to

- Approx 4 blocks
ahead traffic will split to the left

need to go right and should
already be in the right lane
- Continue
until you cross the railroad tracks
Port Administrative Offices -
111 S. Wooding Street
Wooding Street is the 2nd street on the right
