Alaska Way Viaduct Replacement
The port and tens of thousands of maritime/industrial jobs depend upon replacing the viaduct with an alternative that:
- links industrial lands in the Duwamish to Ballard/Interbay
- enables cruise ship passengers to move easily between SeaTac and the port’s cruise terminal foot of Magnolia and Pier 66
- provides efficient connections between the seaport and I-5, I-90 and Hiway 99
That is why the Port of Seattle signed an agreement with Washington State to provide up to $300 million to ensure the new SR 99 South portal, bored tunnel, waterfront traffic system and North portal configuration will efficiently move freight and cruise passengers.

“links industrial lands in the Duwamish to Ballard/Interbay”
What you refer to as industrial lands, in reality are Duwamish Indian lands, old Italian and Japanese farming lands, and Residential lands. I think your campaign, and the Port of Seattle, could benefit from acknowledging this fact, and taking it into consideration in present and future planning. Thanks.
