This visit also included an SEA art tour, fun team building exercises and summiting to the top deck at SEA for a birds eye view of the airfield.
This week, the Port hosted Muckleshoot Tribal Members who are currently studying carpentry via the Muckleshoot/Green River Community College program at the Port’s Marine Maintenance North Facility.
