    By  The Seattle Times editorial board Thanks to the Seattle Port Commission’s leadership, every cruise ship that docks in Elliott Bay must power down their smoke-billowing engines and plug into shoreside electricity by 2027. The new requirement is no idle decree. The tens of millions of dollars the port spent to bring terminal berths the voltage necessary

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation.
