A Port Commissioner who's actually from SeaTac or Tukwila? That's a novel idea!

Thank you, thank you Hamdi Mohamed for running for the Port Commission and putting some people of color who aren't part of the "White Boys Network" in charge of port oversight. The bloated port, run by philistines on the take, could use some conscientious members of the local black community who think, feel and care, as opposed to these cigar-clipping nut bags who continually run port operations at a morally reprehensible loss, and overpay for real estate and sell it at a loss, thereby soaking the hapless taxpayers. Let's get more women on the Port Commission too.

@3: That she's running against the odious Stephanie Bowman is all the qualification she needs.

@4 - why not? Courtney Gregoire ran on nothing more than her mother's name.

@5 meant to address @3

@3: At the risk of being sexist, I would add an eye for design and fashion.

Bowman is one of the better port commissioners we've had. She played a big part in getting the Northwest Seaport Alliance through, as well as the T5 modernization project. It does not appear as if Mohamed has any experience remotely relevant to port operations, but of course that is not something the Stranger considers when making endorsements.

@#8
The Stranger does a pretty good jobs making endorsements, and they haven't actually endorsed MS. Mohamed yet, only noted that she is running.

There are questions I want to hear her views on, but that's true of any candidate.

Great another activist and political campaign manager.

@13 Your expectations do not have a basis in reality. There is nothing about Mohamed's training, experience, or background that has any relevance to port operations. Her candidacy is based solely on prioritizing diversity and equity. There is no reason to believe she is even aware of T46 or T91, let alone developing policies related to those facilities. I personally suspect she has never set foot on any of the Port's marine terminals, and couldn't find them on a map.

well then @14 this'd seem to be
The Perfect Time for the Candidate to
step right up (and in) here on le Schlog.

Not an airport issue: But she should consider stopping and reversing the slow creep of converting Seattle's working waterfront into restaurants, marinas and hip software offices with a view. All for the benefit of the wealthy, of course.

But the air pollution thing is a move in the opposite direction. And one of the principle arguments for closing marine based employment in favor of someplace to tie up my yacht people.
