The Tacoma Propeller Club at Port of Tacoma is the largest club on the West Coast with over 200 members. Its membership is composed of a comprehensive representation of the marine industry core companies in the greater Puget Sound area - from marine supply and marine surveyors to naval architects and marine engineers; from shipping companies to port administrators; from towing companies to chemical and petroleum companies.  Almost 200 separate companies are represented.

Education is an important component of our activities.  The Tacoma Propeller Club is the charter partner of the Sea Scout Ship 110, the Charles N. Curtis. Sea Scouts, is a program of the Boy Scouts of America, and our club has provided funding support to this unit for over 20 years.

One of our objectives is "to maintain a continuing education program of public relations, education and good will among exporters and importers and the public generally."  This is accomplished through participation in the annual Commencement Bay Maritime Fest where we organize the Salmon Bake each year.  While serving the best barbequed salmon in the Pacific Northwest, we talk to the public about who we are and what we do - it's the perfect opportunity.
