Seattle's Working Waterfront

One thing I thought was really cool about Seattle was its vibrant working waterfront. One activity at the International Downtown Association conference was a boat tour through the ports, which gave a chance to learn more. With cruise terminals on one end, a huge redesign of the waterfront section of center city Seattle and a giant container port, there is A LOT going on there and as the grandchild of a freighter company owner, I soaked it all up. Best fun fact: the largest export out of the port is hay to Asia.
