Imagine possibility at the SWIFT Center
225 acres in Skagit County ready for development
The beautiful grounds of the SWIFT Center, located in the gateway between Seattle and the North Cascades, are primed and ready for development. A historic campus, the SWIFT Center has been reimagined through the efforts of the Port of Skagit, together with many other local partners, as a place brimming with possibility.
The 225-acre campus is home to hundreds of thousands of square feet of Olmsted-designed landscapes, the same architects who designed New York’s Central Park.
The Port of Skagit acquired the property to promote development of a destination mixed-used campus that has research and development, manufacturing, hospitality, and commercial venues all while preserving the historic character and great public spaces at SWIFT.

Distinct zones for development
The Core Area of SWIFT houses its historic buildings, ready for their new life as educational, office, research and development, hospitality, specialty residential uses, tourism, commercial and public uses.
The new construction area of SWIFT currently houses some industrial uses, but there are more open spaces ready to be developed into manufacturing and assembly.
Incentives
The SWIFT Center comes with an attractive package of incentives for the right developer who values historic preservation, including tax credits and a competitive lease rate from the Port of Skagit.
