Riniker resigns from port of Tacoma
Andrea Riniker, executive director of the port of Tacoma told the port’s commissioners she will leave the port at the end of the year.
At the port of Tacoma commission meeting last Thursday, the port commission indicated its interest in having the current deputy executive director, Tim Farrell, succeed Riniker as executive director.
Over the next few weeks, the port commission plans to meet with Farrell to evaluate requirements for the position, and negotiate an employment agreement with him. The commission does not plan to interview any other candidates for this position while having these discussions with Farrell.
It is expected that these discussions will be concluded by the end of October, the port of Tacoma said.
Riniker has been executive director of the port of Tacoma since 1997. Prior to joining the port of Tacoma, she spent five years as deputy executive director of the port of Seattle.
