2026 Mission to Washington

The 2026 PNWA Mission to Washington will be another memorable opportunity for members to gather in the nation’s capital and meet directly with lawmakers and their staff to keep our priorities front and center. A key highlight will be two full days on Capitol Hill, where members will directly engage with the Northwest Congressional delegation to advocate for the region.

NWC & PNWA JOINT SUMMIT

This year, PNWA is partnering with the National Waterways Conference (NWC) to deliver a full day of exceptional speakers, offering broader perspectives and greater influence on the issues that matter most to our region and our industry. Attendees will also hear directly from national representatives of the maritime and waterways industry.

Taste of the Northwest

The Mission will also feature the Taste the Northwest Reception with members of Congress and their staff. Attendees will celebrate together while enjoying the rich flavors of the Pacific Northwest. The reception will showcase regional products such as fresh seafood, fish, cheese, candies, wines, and beers alongside agricultural commodities including wheat, potatoes, apples, berries, nuts, hops, and grapes.
