Port of Seattle Releases Annual Report: 2021 Was Okay, 2022 Will Be Better

Comments

Port of Seattle is possibly the only large municipal port facility to rely upon a local property tax levy. It's disappointing to see that none of the commissioners discussed intend to wean the Port off reliance upon regressive taxes. I mean, yeah, I guess it would be nice to have a few new bike racks or whatever at SeaTac but local families shouldn't be paying for those amenities.

If similarly situated ports can be self-sustaining, Port of Seattle can be as well.

I don’t think the job of the port is what the new commissioners think it is.

I agree with @1. If you pay attention to your property tax bill the Port is not obscure. The tangible ways the Port touches my life are: heavy truck traffic creating air pollution and traffic congestion. When T5 opens the traffic situation in West Seattle is going to get even worse. That's a "highlight" Matt missed.
