Hi Emily,

The Shell Polar Pioneer that just departed Terminal 5 is a reminder of the decision making power the Port of Seattle Commission has on Seattle’s working port. In 2015, King County residents will vote on Port of Seattle Commissioner Position No. 5. This local election is crucial in determining Washington’s economic future and our impact on climate change.

Join us on Monday, June 29th for non-partisan candidate forummoderated by KIRO TV’s Graham Johnson to hear directly from the Port of Seattle Commissioner Position No. 5 candidates about how they will address pressing environmental and economic issues facing the Port, including:

• Transparency: in government processes
