Being here carries a special significance to me, as a longtime Bremerton resident and regular ferry user of 22 years.

When Portland International Airport’s $2.15 billion expansion opens Wednesday, guests will begin checking bags and heading for boarding gates within a terminal unlike any other in the country. Passengers at Oregon’s largest airport will walk beneath a rippling 9-acre lattice ceiling and thick glulam beams that total 2.6 million board feet of Douglas fir, much of it harvested by tribal loggers and sustainable foresters from Washington state.
