PORT OF GRAYS HARBOR PHOTO Satsop Business Park Manager of Business Development Alissa Shay, Port of Grays Harbor Commissioner Stan Pinnick and Port of Grays Harbor Commissioner Jack Thompson accept the Outstanding Job Creator award at Washington Public Ports Association awards breakfast earlier this month.

The Port of Grays Harbor’s Satsop Business Park was the recipient of the Washington Public Ports Association’s Outstanding Job Creator Award at the association’s spring meeting at Suncadia Resort in Cle Elum held May 17-19. The award recognizes the project that creates jobs for its community, including the quality and impact of said jobs.

“We are extremely proud to accept this award and do so on behalf of the entire team of partners that helped make the Overstock.com project a reality,” said Satsop Business Development Manager Alissa Shay. “The jobs created by Overstock’s decision to locate at Satsop will certainly have a meaningful and lasting impact for the region and we look forward to their continued success here in Grays Harbor.”

Overstock.com’s call center takes began operations in early May, only five months after the company signed a lease for 20,000 square feet of office space in the Satsop Business Park. The center employs 150 people.
