Century Agenda PowerPoint

Port of Seattle Mission 
The Port of Seattle is a public agency whose primary mission shall be to
invest public resources to advance trade and commerce, promote
industrial growth, stimulate economic development, and create jobs. 
adopted August 2009 
Century Agenda "Givens" 
Airport: The existing three runways at SeaTac Airport are assumed as a maximum. 
Seaport: POS will continue to be a major international container, cargo, fishing &
cruise Port, and the PNW will continue to be a major trade gateway. The on-dock
container terminals will develop primarily through investments within the current
property footprint. 
Funding Strategy: Over the next 25 years, the Tax Levy is an important funding
mechanism for strategic opportunities which cannot be financed otherwise.

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
