Centennial
2011

As the Port of Seattle reaches its Centennial, it is with
gratitude to the citizens of King County, our
business partners, customers, tenants, labor, and
the rich diversity of our communities. Over the past
100 years, the Seattle waterfront has grown from a
collection of privately owned piers along Seattle's
"Railroad Avenue" to be a strategic air and water
gateway to the world, and is setting a sustainable
course for the next century.

In honoring the past, we will use the opportunity of
our Centennial to thank and celebrate with our
communities, and in embracing the future we will
focus an international spotlight on this gateway and
on our sustainability mission.
