Executive Constantine statement on Seattle Port Commission's motion

Summary

King County Executive Dow Constantine issued the following statement regarding the Seattle Port Commission's motion to delay the arrival of Shell's Arctic drilling fleet.

Story

"I'm grateful that the Seattle Port Commission has delayed anchoring Shell's Arctic drilling fleet at Terminal 5. But this is a time-out, not a reprieve.

"The intense opposition to offshore drilling gives expression to the values of the people of Seattle, King County, and the entire region. Climate change is a threat to every family and community in the Northwest."
