Forum on Port of Seattle

Reprinted from the website of the League of Women Voters of Greater Seattle:

May Forum: Port of Seattle


Thursday, May 6 at 7:30 PM

Seattle First Baptist Church
1111 Harvard Avenue
Seattle, WA

The Port of Seattle will be examined by the League of Women Voters of Greater Seattle in a forum that is free and open to the public.

Seattle Times columnist Jerry Large in a recent column interviewing local author Paul Loeb ('Soul of a Citizen'), asked him 'where citizen involvement was missing locally.' Loeb replied, 'hardly anyone knows much about the Port.'  How do we, the voters of King County, begin to understand the Port and its governing body, the Port Commission?  How does the Commission balance the public interest with the competitive international business role of the Port?  A distinguished panel of speakers will help us as citizens to do our part.  For more information contact the League office at 206-329-4848 or at info@seattlelwv.org.

For background information, read past port studies made by the League of Women Voters of Washington:
