Port Objectives 
Expansion of industrial business activity in the
MIC 
Reduced sprawl by retaining business growth in
the MIC 
Ensure planned SODO sports arena does not
harm Port operations and that City requires
adequate mitigation for impacts

Strategies 
Existing or better access for container terminals 
Promote growth of existing industrial uses 
Protect industrial land from encroachment 
Improved transit and non-motorized
transportation to reduce vehicle trips

How do we get there? 
Joint Port of Seattle-King County-PSRC industrial
area planning & Stadium District review
(November 2013-November 2014) 
"Port Overlay" to protect maritime and industrial uses 
Establish stronger criteria to limit changes in industrial
lands 
Identify incentives for industrial expansion 
Identify utility infrastructure needs for industrial
expansion 
Streamline permitting

Port Comments on Arena EIS 
(November 2012-Summer 2013) 
Alternative sites should be considered 
Study transportation impacts in significantly higher
detail on local streets and regional highways 
Lack of land-use compatibility 
Loss of industrial land and speculative pressure on
industrial uses

SDOT-Port transportation coordination 
MIC-BINMIC Industrial area freight access study (January
2013-Fall 2013) 
Maintain & improve freight truck mobility and access
to accommodate cargo growth 
Ensure connectivity between industrial areas 
Coordinate freight planning with bicycle, pedestrian
and transit improvements 
Port-SDOT work plan (ongoing) 
Heavy Haul Corridor 
Bike-Freight conflicts 
East Marginal Way freight route 
Intelligent Transportation Systems

Manufacturing Industrial Council study 
(January-June 2013) 
Survey of MIC businesses focused on
transportation and mitigation needs of the Port's
container terminals and Duwamish MIC freight
and traffic needs 
Data collected will illustrate the contribution of
the Seaport to the economic health of Seattle
and King County
