Coos Bay Oregon is home to the Port of Coos Bay — the largest coastal harbor between San Francisco and Puget Sound — and is the proposed site of the Jordan Cove LNG export terminal, a controversial project that would process liquefied natural gas for export. The city sits at extremely low elevation on the Coos Bay estuary with extreme tsunami risk from a Cascadia earthquake. The port hosts coal and wood chip exports for Asian markets. Coos County emergency management has conducted significant tsunami inundation mapping.
