MARITIME 101: Washington Maritime Matters MARITIME 101: WASHINGTON MARITIME MATTERS Newspapers In Education and The Washington Maritime Industry Present MARITIME 101: Washington Maritime Matters MARITIME 101: WASHINGTON MARITIME MATTERS Maritime 101: Celebrating our Five Star Working Waterfronts Today, our maritime industry has never been stronger—or more important to our region. That’s why Newspapers In Education and the maritime industry have teamed up to provide an inside look at our thriving working waterfronts. Around here, maritime matters. Washington state’s maritime industry is rooted in the state’s rich history of timber production, its location as a trade hub, and its proximity to some of the world’s most productive fisheries. And we’ve always been the primary gateway to Alaska and Asia. Our maritime industry is annually worth $30 billion to the state economy, according to a 2013 study by the Economic Development Council of Seattle & King County and the Workforce Development Council of Seattle and King County. In 2012, the industry directly employed 57,700 workers, with an average salary of $70,800—nearly $20,000 above the state’s median salary! Washington is also the most trade-dependent state in the United States. Today, four in ten jobs in Washington are tied to international trade, according to the Port of Seattle. And the maritime industry is thriving! Early this year, the largest cargo ship to visit the United States arrived at The Northwest Seaport Alliance’s Terminal 18 in Seattle. The CMA CMG Benjamin Franklin holds more than double the cargo of most container ships calling at Seaport Alliance terminals, and represents the type of mega-ships entering the trans-Pacific trade. How big is this mega-ship? • Length: 1,310 feet long, longer than the height of two Space Needles • Width: 177 feet, wider than the base of Louvre Pyramid CMA CMG Benjamin Franklin arrives at The Northwest Seaport Alliance’s Terminal 18 in Seattle. • Container capacity: 18,000 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs), Photo by Don Wilson, Port of Seattle. laid end-to-end, would stretch from Tacoma to Everett (68 miles) The growth of the industry is not just in shipping. You can see the strength of the industry at our shipyards, cruise ship terminals, Fishermen’s Terminal, Shilshole Bay Marina, ferry Sponsored Newspapers In Education Content In Education Newspapers Sponsored terminals and maritime businesses throughout Washington. This Newspaper In Education supplement is part of an overall Maritime 101 program sponsored by a unique partnership between business, labor, industry associations and 1,310 feet government. Throughout April and May, enjoy the Vigor Seattle Maritime Festival, tours, industry events and other activities. See the back page for a listing of all the programs.

Nearly 7,000 horsepower? Sponsors Does it have the strength to stop another vehicle that outweighs it by over 100,000 tons? Can your vehicle spin on a dime? Tugboats such as those used by Crowley Maritime in Puget Sound have all of these capabilities. Crowley owns and operates some of the most advanced tugboats in the world! Supporting Sponsors Most of the things you use every day—clothes, computers, TVs, cars, gasoline—are delivered by ships that require tugboats to assist them to dock safely. Think of a bus trying to park in a crowded mall parking lot. Now imagine that the pavement is continuously moving. That is what it is like for ships trying Industry Partners to make deliveries. Experienced crews and strong, nimble tugboats keep our local waters safe, and help get those important goods to the docks so they can be delivered to local stores. Scholarships at a variety of maritime academies and colleges and universities Media Partners across the country – including several on the West Coast— scholarships are available through Crowley for students who will become our next generation of leaders.

The Seattle Foundation’s commitment to building a healthy community for all King County residents remains as strong as ever. In 2008, with our donors, we granted more than $63 million to over 2000 organizations and promising initiatives in King County and beyond. Though our assets declined like most investments nationwide, The Seattle Foundation’s portfolio performed well when benchmarked against comparable endowments. In the longer term, The Seattle Foundation has outperformed portfolios comprised of traditional stocks and bonds due to prudent and responsible stewardship of charitable funds that has been the basis of our investment strategy for decades. The Seattle Foundation is also leading efforts to respond to increasing need in our community. Late last year The Seattle Foundation joined forces with the United Way of King County and other local funders to create the Building Resilience Fund—a three-year, $6 million effort to help local people who have been hardest hit by the economic downturn. Through this fund, we are bolstering the capacity of selected nonprofits to meet increasing basic needs and providing a network of services to put people on the road on self-reliance.

  • Draft Northwest Seaport Alliance Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy Implementation Plan
    DRAFT Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy Implementation Plan Produced by the Northwest Seaport Alliance June 30, 2021 Executive Summary: PLACEHOLDER PLACEHOLDER i Table of Contents: PLACEHOLDER PLACEHOLDER ii Glossary: PLACEHOLDER PLACEHOLDER iii 1. Purpose The Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA) is committed to reducing, and ultimately eliminating, the air and climate pollution emissions of diesel particulate matter (DPM) and greenhouse gases (GHG) – that are associated with the cargo shipping operations that we manage on behalf of the ports of Tacoma and Seattle. That is why The NWSA, at its inception in 2015, joined the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy (NWPCAS). The NWPCAS is a voluntary collaboration between the four largest port entities of the Pacific Northwest – NWSA, Port of Tacoma (PoT), Port of Seattle (PoS), and Port of Vancouver (VFPA) – to reduce air and climate pollution from their respective seaport activities throughout the Puget Sound – Georgia Basin Airshed. The NWPCAS constitutes a shared strategic framework for clean air and climate actions and investments that creates a “level playing field” across the four participating port entities, and helps them coordinate, collaborate, and hold each other accountable. The participating ports updated and renewed the NWPCAS in 2020, strengthening their commitment to reducing air and climate pollution. The 2020 NWPCAS puts forth an ambitious, aspirational, joint vision to phase out emissions from seaport activities by 2050, and a suite of high-level joint objectives and actions to advance that vision. In addition, each of the four participating port entities committed to developing a detailed implementation plan tailored to their particular policy environments, governance structures, lines of business, emissions profiles, and community priorities.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    THE VIRGINIA V FOUNDATION 2019 ANNUAL REPORT OUR MISSION: To promote the Puget Sound’s maritime heritage through the restoration, preservation, operation, and interpretation of the National Historic Landmark vessel VIRGINIA V. OPERATION As the VIRGINIA V sails the waters of the Puget Sound, she transforms from historical artifact to a living, working vessel. It is her ability to immerse guests in nearly a hundred years of local maritime history that sets the VIRGINIA V apart. In 2019, we were able to share that experience with 4,450 guests who got underway with us. We continue to offer low-cost public cruises, such as Steamship Saturdays in partnership with the Center for Wooden Boats and special narrated cruises in partnership with the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), to give the broader community access to our local waterways and maritime history. We have participated in well-loved traditions including Seattle’s Opening Day, Olympia Harbor Days, the Lake Union Wooden Boat Show, and the Blue Angels Viewing Cruises. The VIRGINIA V provided over 25 private underway charters, seven of which were wedding celebrations. None of this would be possible without the dedication and commitment of our volunteer crew. From the licensed mariners like our captains and chief engineers, to our bartenders, docents, deckhands, and engineers, the VIRGINIA V would not leave the dock without them. 2019 OPERATION HIGHLIGHTS » 55 days underway on the VIRGINIA V » 17,150 total visitors to the vessel » 4,450 guests during public & private cruises » 4,200 volunteer hours donated PRESERVATION The VIRGINIA V continues to be the largest operational, wooden steamboat certified to carry passengers in the United States.
