“The Port of Seattle Commission voted today to ask Foss to abide by the current City of Seattle regulations. We also voted to appeal the City of Seattle’s interpretation of the cargo use at Terminal 5. An appeal hearing provides a legal, structured format that acknowledges the seriousness of our concerns about changing long-standing permit requirements, and should not be viewed as hostile to the City of Seattle” said Port Commission Co-President Stephanie Bowman. “We expect that this will also provide a fair and objective opportunity for all affected parties to participate. We will work with the City of Seattle to define ‘cargo,’ as maritime businesses need that certainty.”
