“The Port received many excellent applications for this position,” said Galligan, “And while the competition was close, we found Rachael to be the best fit for the Port of Olympia. We are looking forward to having Rachael on the Port’s leadership team and working with her to continue to build upon and broaden the Port’s commitment to environmental stewardship throughout Thurston County.”
