Honorable Commissioners, 

The City of Issaquah is supportive of the Port of Seattle's Economic Development
Partnership Program. This cooperative program has provided cities such as
Issaquah with the ability to enhance economic development efforts around small
business development, business recruitment and workforce development. When the
pandemic hit, Port staff were quick to respond to the changing needs facing
Issaquah and worked to amend our scope to address changing business needs.

The Port staff recommendation for the 2021 program is in line with what cities like
Issaquah needs  the ability to focus our efforts to retain businesses and help them
pivot to the "new normal" conditions of post COVID. 

We greatly appreciate the Port of Seattle's support for economic development
activities throughout King County. 

Sincerely, 


Mary Lou Pauly 
Mayor
