Port of Seattle

It totally makes sense.

And one of the things that you do, you worked for the Port of Seattle King County Housing Authority and the Reno Tahoe Airport Authority.

Those are like public authorities with different governance requirements than nonprofits.

How did that public sector experience change how you think about governance and executive operations? What do these public boards do better or worse than nonprofit boards?

Might work this time.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is bringing together leaders from Amazon, Spotify, the Port of Seattle, organized labor, technology, clean tech as opposed to dirty tech, small businesses, and other sectors as part of a new task force focused on rebuilding and diversifying the city's economy.

What's, what's happened is that our tax base is spread up- spread upon a, just a, a handful of companies, essentially, and with those companies leaving and, and with the mayor basically boycotting some of our biggest companies, um, there's, there's discussion of if, if even more companies leave, the revenue's down, budget gets worse, and so you gotta do something.

You gotta do something.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has appointed a new task force to recommend ways to strengthen and diversify the city's economy.

The 18 members include representatives from organized labor, the Port of Seattle, and the hospitality sector, as well as big companies like Amazon and small businesses.

The group will start by tackling economic recovery downtown, business retention, and obstacles to opening or expanding a business.

The first findings are due in February.

This is horrible, but I think I've merged them into Keith Irvin.

The, the, the PI had a reporter assigned to the Port of Seattle who uncovered all sorts of like, you know, bad behavior at the Port of Seattle during that period in the aughts.

Like, that just doesn't exist anymore.

And, and then, and, and people just...

So it's called Digital Day and it's something that, I guess, King County, our county, does.

And it's for anyone that works either for the government or so you could work for the county, you could work for the Port of Seattle.

And it's a big day for them to come out and just like, kind of like a conference.

That's pretty cool.

Okay.

Um, and then it says, "I hereby authorize the officers of the Port of Seattle Police Department to conduct a complete search of the following described property listed below." iPhone 12 Pro Max with pink glitter case with rhinestones.

"I voluntarily agree to provide any key or combination that may assist the officer in gaining access of my property." But you don't have a password, right?

No.

Yeah.

Sky Chef.

Or I can put, actually, the Sky Chef is gonna be Port of Seattle.

Port of Seattle.

And probably steam engines were getting started with that.

But, you know, if you look at like Port of Seattle today and the containerized shipping.

Wow.

So in those containers are boxes and boxes of sewing machines, just like back in the day.

And then we might have thunderstorms into the late night.

Before we sign off, I just wanted to give a quick congratulations to Stephanie Jones Stebbins, Managing Director of the Maritime Division at the Port of Seattle.

Many of you may know her or have worked with her, but she has been named one of Marine Log's 2026 Top Women in Maritime.

Very well deserving, of course.

Ridgway said that he killed Terry, where he had killed and left Giselle LaVorn during the previous month.

Ridgway was in the area that night, a Port of Seattle police officer contacted him some eight blocks from where LaVorn's body was discovered.

He said that two boys had seen him in the area during his date with Terry, so he decided that he had to dump her body elsewhere.

He identified the area along Star Lake Road where he dumped Terry's body.

She was last seen in Seattle at a bus stop located at 21st Street and Union and was reportedly headed to South Center Mall.

Not much is known about her disappearance, although she was known to engage in prostitution and had been arrested for this offense by Seattle police just one month earlier.

Six months after the discovery of the remains of Mary Meehan, Constance Naone, and Kelly Ware at the South Airport site, a Port of Seattle employee stumbled on the remains of Andrea Childs.

Her body was found only 40 feet from the remains of Constance Naone.
