Kate Snider, Principal at Floyd|Snider, recently concluded facilitation work with the Port of Tacoma and Port of Seattle senior staff to formally initiate the Northwest Seaport Alliance. The Northwest Seaport Alliance is the first of its kind in North America, unifying management for both the Seattle and Tacoma port’s marine cargo facilities. Kate assisted in this unprecedented undertaking by working with a 16-person team of senior staff from both Ports to produce the proposed Seaport Alliance Agreement and all supporting materials, for deliberation by the joint Port Commissions. You can learn more about the Northwest Seaport Alliance and all that it offers to Washington through its commitment to the shipping industry, economic development, environmental stewardship, and job growth at their website.
