The Port of Ridgefield promoted Ethan Perry to deputy port director. Perry joined the port in 2017 and most recently held the position of director of operations.
“Perry has been a cornerstone of our operations, and we are thrilled to promote him to deputy port director,” Port CEO Randy Mueller said. “His vision and leadership have been instrumental in advancing key projects and initiatives that have supported jobs, economic benefit and quality of life in Ridgefield. We look forward to his continued impact in this new role.”
In the past seven years, Perry has overseen major economic development projects such as the Wisdom Ridge Business Park, and multiple renovation projects, including the port’s boat launch facilities and the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife Region 5 headquarters building. He is currently managing the Greely Building project and is a key part of the Ridgefield waterfront development team.
Perry’s work to secure funding has brought in more than $5.5 million in grants and built strong relationships with other ports, public agencies and community partners.
