“The festival is designed to celebrate and showcase our maritime industry and the important role it plays in the Puget Sound region’s economy,” commented Seattle Propeller Club President Marc Warner, LeGros Buchanan & Paul.

The Downtown Seattle Waterfront is the place to be for the annual Seattle Maritime Festival, sponsored by Seattle Propeller Club with support from the Port of Seattle. This year’s Festival celebrates the Centennial of the Port of Seattle. Join us next year for more family fun!

Luncheon with Tay Yoshitani, CEO Port of Seattle

Tay Yoshitani, chief executive officer of the Port of Seattle, has spent his career in international trade and transportation and we were glad that he could join us for this month’s Seattle Propeller Club luncheon.  The Port of Seattle announced its record 2010 cargo year, employing roughly 2,000 employees with increased man hours and was featured on January’s CNBC’s “Squawk Box” financial news show, “Seattle’s Precious Cargo”.

Most recently he was published as a guest columnist in The Huffington Post article, “What’s Behind China’s Economic Policies?”
