Welcome to the Port of Pend Oreille
The Port of Pend Oreille, dba Pend Oreille Valley Railroad (POVA) is a non-taxing government entity focused on driving economic prosperity in Pend Oreille County. In 1979 the county’s citizens voted to create POVA to continue operating a historic and economically important railroad. Since then, we’ve done that and much more. Today, the Port serves as the County and Washington State’s Associate Development Office (ADO).
