Lewis County Ports include the public Port of Centralia and Port of Chehalis. Their industrial campuses are important to the region. Winlock Industrial Park offers a separate private-site opportunity near Exit 63, where the FEMA reference map displays the selected location outside the mapped Special Flood Hazard Area.
Lewis County Ports are represented by the public Port of Centralia and Port of Chehalis. Each supports industrial and commercial development in the Interstate 5 corridor. Winlock Industrial Park is different: it is a private industrial-site opportunity where businesses can begin their site review with FEMA mapping, elevation, access, utilities, drainage, and long-term resilience in mind.
The Port of Centralia operates industrial and mixed-use development areas through Park I, Park II, and Park 3 / Centralia Station.
The Port of Chehalis develops industrial and commercial property near the Chehalis Industrial Park, south of Chehalis and east of Interstate 5.
A place-name search does not replace a parcel review. FEMA mapping should be used to check the exact building pad, access route, utilities, drainage, and proposed industrial footprint before public dollars, private capital, equipment, inventory, or jobs are committed.
The FEMA Flood Map Service Center result for the Winlock / Exit 63 / I-5 reference location displays the selected point outside the mapped Special Flood Hazard Area shown on the map.
Port Centralia properties are part of the broader Centralia and Chehalis River Basin development corridor. Businesses should not rely on a general city search—each industrial parcel needs current FEMA mapping, site elevation, drainage, access, and permitting review.
Port Chehalis properties should also be evaluated through an exact address or coordinate search. Floodplain status, local drainage, road access, insurance requirements, and building-pad elevation should be confirmed before a business signs, builds, or invests.
Winlock Industrial Park offers businesses a private industrial-site option outside the mapped Special Flood Hazard Area shown at the Exit 63 reference location. It is an opportunity to consider elevation, I-5 access, utilities, road connections, parcel layout, and operational resilience together.
Centralia, Chehalis, and Winlock are connected by Interstate 5, but each location carries its own questions about access, utilities, available land, elevation, drainage, floodplain status, and long-term buildability.
Lewis County’s two public port districts support industrial and commercial development, transportation access, infrastructure, and job creation. Their facilities are distinct from Winlock Industrial Park, which is a private industrial-site opportunity.
The Port of Centralia operates three major development areas: Park I, Park II, and Park 3, also known as Centralia Station.
26 tenants and more than 1,300 jobs. Located near I-5 with a rail spur and transload facility.
9 tenants and more than 750 jobs. Home to many of the Port’s largest tenants.
Centralia Station is under construction, with infrastructure improvements underway and WinCo Foods announced as anchor tenant.
The Port of Chehalis is a public developer of industrial and commercial property. Its industrial park is south of Chehalis city limits and east of Interstate 5.
Winlock Industrial Park is a private industrial-site opportunity—not a public port district. Its value is in a higher-ground development conversation for businesses that want to weigh flood exposure, transportation access, utilities, site layout, and long-term resilience together.
A higher-ground approach can be a meaningful consideration for businesses comparing future industrial sites.
Winlock sits within the broader Interstate 5 corridor linking south Lewis County to Centralia, Chehalis, Portland, and Seattle.
Roads, drainage, power, broadband, utilities, logistics, and workforce access should all be part of industrial site selection.
No public page replaces parcel-specific FEMA review, survey work, engineering analysis, local permitting, or due diligence.
The FEMA Flood Map Service Center view for the Exit 63 reference area shows the marked location outside the blue Special Flood Hazard Area overlay shown on the map. That gives businesses and taxpayers a stronger starting point: evaluate industrial development on higher ground before committing money, equipment, inventory, public infrastructure, or jobs.
Use the specific parcel address or coordinates for the intended industrial site, building pad, access road, and utility route.
Print or save the FEMA Dynamic FIRMette for the selected parcel. This creates a clear due-diligence record for lenders, insurers, engineers, and decision-makers.
Verify site elevation, drainage, access, engineered building-pad design, utility placement, and any local permitting requirements before construction.
