Did you know that Lewiston, Idaho is the furthest inland ocean port in the US? Here is a nice story about the importance of our river system featuring our retiring GM of Lewis-Clark Terminal association, Scott Zuger, It is pretty impressive how efficiently and quickly we can get our crops to market!

The Columbia Snake River System is the top U.S wheat export gateway supported by eight locks and dams that make navigation safe and efficient.

We love our "dammed" river.

In late June the lower Snake River dams helped the Northwest power through the unprecedented heat. These dynamic facilities provided energy, reserve capacity and helped avoid rolling blackouts. https://go.usa.gov/xFTu7

Dear Members,

As most of you may already be aware, Brian was killed in a combine accident this past Monday. He was a great friend of the Murai family (as well as others) and an all-around wonderful guy.

If you would like to make a donation to the Smith family, please use the gofundme link provided. Details are also provided for the graveside service.

Please help support the family of Brian Smith from Colton whom our Lord called to His arms on… Deborah Niehenke needs your support for Brian Smith Family Fund

We’ve set up temporary drive-up windows along the west side of the office for use in the meantime. We encourage clients to use drive-up options if they can do so.

Our office lobby will be available by appointment to serve:
