PROCLAMATION
OF THE PORT OF SEATTLE COMMISSION

WHEREAS, King County is home to diverse communities and has been for many
generations; and
WHEREAS, We are disturbed and alarmed by the severity and frequency of hate crimes and
race-based  harassment  against  Asians  and  the  Asian  Pacific  Islander
Communities associated with COVID-19 in King County and throughout the
world; and
WHEREAS, Language that evokes xenophobia endangers our communities who are
experiencing heightened discrimination; and
WHEREAS, Our community has long benefited from the rich diversity of our immigrant
population  including  rich  cultural  traditions,  political  and  economic
contributions; and
WHEREAS, The Port of Seattle values the relationships we have built with all our trading
partners including those in Asia first affected by COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, Seattle has a history that includes support for racial and social justice for all
communities; and
WHEREAS, We are pledged to not repeating the egregious acts of discrimination committed
in King County in recent history including the incarceration of Japanese during
World War II and the exclusion of Chinese in the 1880s; and
WHEREAS, No race, nationality or ethnicity is responsible for COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, having Chinese ancestry —or any other ancestry—does not make a person more
vulnerable to COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, Ignorance is the lifeblood of conspiracies that hamper our ability to fight the
pandemic and endanger the most vulnerable; and
WHEREAS, The Port of Seattle recognizes the negative impact of institutional and structural
racism,  past  and present  and responded by creating  an  office  of Equity,
Diversity and Inclusion to address these issues; and
WHEREAS, An insensitive minority have vilified our Asian communities in response to the
COVID-19 virus, inflaming racism and inciting xenophobia in countries across
the globe; and
