Meetings 
NAC generally met monthly on the third Wednesday of the month. The principal activity 
was dialog among NAC members and between NAC and Port staff regarding Terminal 91 
including the North Bay area. NAC also discussed issues geographically adjacent, or 
outside NAC's purview, that could affect Port operations within the NAC area. Staff 
participation included briefings, updates, and responses to NAC questions and concerns. 
Detailed summaries of each meeting are available in the Minutes posted at
http://www.portseattle.org/Supporting-Our-Community/Community-
Engagement/Pages/NAC.aspx. 

General Value of NAC 
The Magnolia Community Council and the Queen Anne Community Council affirm that 
NAC has a constructive and positive value to both the Port and neighboring 
communities. Participants all view the committee and its meetings to be informative, 
cooperative, a desirable forum for discussion and consensus building as well as an 
opportunity to prevent/resolve potential areas of misunderstanding. The underlying 
Short Fill Redevelopment Agreement (NAC Agreement) has proven effective for its 
purposes to date.

Ongoing Issues for NAC 
During 2018 and 2019 the issues below were the most significant to NAC. 
1.  Traffic. Monitoring trends in traffic reported in the Traffic Study mandated by the 
NAC Agreement. Updates on cruise activity and resulting traffic at T-91 and 
related side streets. 
2.  T-91 Development. Port plans for the economic development of T-91 and the 
uplands on the north side of the Magnolia Bridge including potential impacts on 
the North Gate traffic. 
3.  Noise and Light. Noise and light issues arising from tenant and construction 
activities at the T-91 complex. 
4.  Lighting Replacement. Issues arising from the installation of new lights on piers 
90 and 91 and the resulting glare. A NAC subgroup was formed to meet with 
Port personnel on this issue and the issue was resolved. 
5.  Magnolia Bridge. Planning for the replacement of the Magnolia Bridge. 
6.  Bike Trail. Completed reviews of changes to the existing Port bike path in the 
vicinity of T-91 and extending through the Expedia site. 
7.  Maritime improvements at T-91 included in the Port capital budget 

8.  Other Topics. (see minutes for details) 
a. Expedia's re-location to the former Amgen facilities. 
b.  King County CSO construction details. 
c.   Planning for Fishermen's Terminal 
d.  Armory site development planning 
e.  Sound Transit and King County Metro Smith Cove station and alignment 
planning 
f.   Environmental issues/projects at T-91 and Smith Cove areas 
g.  Fishing Pier Project 
h.  Tsubota property status 
i.   Lumaze and other special events at T-91 plus Pier 86 art project 
Of Specific Interest to the Commissioners. 
NAC community members urge the Commissioners to continue to engage with City of 
Seattle leaders and to advocate for a more holistic approach in the city's planning 
activities. Planning for the Ballard-Interbay area including Terminal 91 properties have 
become more complex and interconnected. While many of these projects are beyond the 
scope of the NAC Agreement, all have potential impacts on Terminal 91 and traffic flows 
on adjacent streets.
