— Port of Seattle 3Q 2018 Report Port of Seattle Capital Improvement Project Report Third Quarter 2018 Introduction The Port of Seattle is a municipal corporation chartered by the State of Washington with the mission to be an economic engine for the Puget Sound region and the State. A primary activity of the Port is to create capital assets that allow the efficient flow of goods and people into and out of the area. The intent of this report is to provide the public with high level information on the status of the Port’s capital projects. Background During 2018, the Port plans to invest $895,100,000 to expand and upgrade the infrastructure that supports marine and aviation commerce. Funding for the Port comes mainly from the users of the facilities, including shipping companies, airlines, rental car companies, concessionaires and public parking. About 2 percent of the Port’s capital budget comes from a tax levy on property in King County. The Tax Levy funds are used selectively for investments in transportation facilities, real estate capital projects and environmental and noise mitigation projects. The Port is dedicated to sound stewardship of the resources its customers and the public entrust to it. This means accomplishing its mission efficiently, effectively and economically, and making its actions transparent to its business partners and the general public. About the Report The report will provide general information on the project description, status, significant developments, schedule, budget, change orders, risks, budget transfers, and cost growth of construction if it…
