  • John Wolfe Pleads Strong Case Against Tariffs Greg
    TEAMW RK June 2018 | Number 218 edbTacomaPierce.org JOHN WOLFE PLEADS STRONG CASE AGAINST TARIFFS Kudos to John Wolfe. In April, the Northwest Seaport Alliance CEO testified before the United States House Ways and Means Committee about the potential economic risks tariffs could bring to the ports of Seattle and Tacoma. Wolfe testified at the recommendation of U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert. “We are deeply invested in U.S. trade policy discussions because they directly impact our core business, the success of our customers and the lives of our local residents,” Wolfe said. Marine cargo operations in Seattle and Tacoma support more than 48,000 jobs, while air cargo operations at SeaTac International Airport help create over 5,200 jobs, Wolfe told the committee. In response to U.S.-imposed tariffs, China recently levied tariffs on a wide range of American goods. That’s a problem for our local economy. Hefty volumes of goods going to and from China move through the ports of Seattle and Tacoma. “Our success as an airport and seaport gateway is inextricably linked to China,” Wolfe said. You can read Wolfe’s full testimony at bit.ly/Wolfetestimony. “As the most trade dependent county in the most trade dependent state in the U.S., Pierce County has a lot at stake in the current debate over tariffs and trade,” said EDB President and CEO Bruce Kendall. “We are fortunate to have John Wolfe deliver the free trade message to policy makers in Washington, DC.” On the heels of Wolfe’s testimony, now is a great time to contact your congressional members and senators.

  • Washington State Legislature Olympia, WA 98504-0600
    Legislative Building Washington State Legislature Olympia, WA 98504-0600 January 25, 2021 The Honorable Governor Inslee PO Box 40002 Olympia, WA 98504 Dear Governor Inslee, We thank you for your service to our State. For the constituents and citizens of Pierce County, the passage of the Connecting Washington package offered the promise of accomplishing a 40-year dream—the completion of State Route 167. Yet, weeks before a key stage of the project was to go out to bid, you unilaterally decided to freeze it. We are writing to express our extreme disappointment and frustration with what we believe to be a short-sighted decision. We are confident you are fully aware that the Puget Sound Gateway package was the keystone project in Connecting Washington, drawing support for the overall package from over 165 business, labor, agriculture, maritime, and local government organizations from around the state. They all recognized the central importance this project plays in supporting the competitiveness of our ports and their labor partners, growers, shippers, and manufacturers who seek access to the global marketplace. In fact, you led the cutting of the ribbon to start this project. Delaying it threatens the state’s economic recovery, serves as a complete disregard to that coalition of project advocates, and does a disservice to all the working families that will benefit from this project. We are very disappointed in your decision. The last year has highlighted the importance of a well-functioning supply chain. While there has been a reduction in transportation revenue across many categories of funding because of remote work and social distancing, diesel tax revenue has remained relatively stable.
