This week, Port of Seattle Commissioner Ryan Calkins joins Ray Dubicki to talk about the awesomeness of planes, ships, and freight. There's also a bit about the future of how stuff moves around the world through Western Washington.
Of course, cargo and people do not move in a vacuum, no matter the vaporware promises of oligarchs. Commissioner Calkins breaks down the real money the Port is budgeting to spend on workforce development and environmental cleanup. A strong Port of Seattle could position itself as a hub for offshore wind farm development and green energy industries.
