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

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, and a desirable forum for discussion and consensus
building. The underlying Short Fill Redevelopment Agreement (NAC Agreement)
has proven effective for its purposes to date. 
Lindsay Pulsifer's (former Maritime Division Managing Director) active
participation in NAC meetings has also much appreciated. The NAC is pleased
that new Maritime Division Managing Director Stephanie Jones Stebbins attended 
meetings in the last quarter of 2017. 

Ongoing Issues for NAC 
During 2016 and 2017 the issues below were the most significant to NAC. 
1. Traffic. 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 West side of the Magnolia Bridge. 
3. Noise and Light. Noise and light issues arising from tenant activity at T-90
and T-91. 
4. Lighting Replacement. Issues arising from the installation of new lights on
T-90 and T-91 and the resulting glare. A NAC subgroup was formed to
meet with Port personnel on this issue. 
5. Traffic Study. Discussing details of the Traffic Study mandated by the NAC
agreement; the Port changed the traffic consultant for the 2016 traffic
study to the Transpo group.

6. Bike Trail. Discussions regarding changes to the existing Port bike path in
the vicinity of T-90 and T-91. 
7. Building 50. The demolition of Building 50 (Northwest Harvest building). 
8. Stadium. Discussions regarding the location of the new stadium. NAC
supported The Port's preference for not locating it in SODO. 
9. Other Topics. See minutes for details. 
a. Expedia re-location to the former Amgen facility. 
b. King County CSO construction details. 
c.  The newly formed Seaport Alliance between the Port of Seattle and
the Port of Tacoma. 
d.  Tank Farm cleanup activities. 
e. Magnolia Bridge replacement planning. 
f.   Reorganization of the Seaport and Real Estate Divisions of the Port
of Seattle. 
g. Planning for Fishermen's Terminal. 
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 should include potential
impacts on Terminal 91 and traffic flow on adjacent streets. The continuing
viability and replacement of the Magnolia Bridge is of importance. 
Other Matters 
We invite each and all Commissioners to attend a NAC meeting at your
convenience. Meetings are usually on the third Wednesday of each month at
4:30 PM in the Port's third floor east conference room. 
NAC thanks the Port Commissioners for the opportunity to provide this report on
behalf of the Magnolia and Queen Anne communities. We will be happy to
respond to any questions or concerns you might have.
