Port of Seattle & 33rd Legislative District Candidate Forum

In 2025, we held an election forum to elevate community voice on environmental justice, public health, and accountability. We invited direct dialogue with Port Commissioners and WA 33rd Legislative District candidates, and asked for their commitments to community-led solutions.

Over four months, 20 groups and leaders produced five key themes that are most urgent and important to us:

Environmental & Health Justice
Workforce Access and Economic Barriers
Policy and Regional Regulatory Coordination
Community Engagement and Prioritization
Funding and Sustainability Challenges

Port of Seattle Commissioners

Port of Seattle Commissioners make decisions about SeaTac Airport and the Port of Seattle that directly affect our neighborhoods. They set policies on airport noise, air pollution, and business opportunities for local residents, and can push for stronger protections against airport impacts, support small and minority-owned businesses, and decide how community mitigation funds are spent.
State Legislators

Our State Legislators write and vote on state laws and budgets that shape our daily lives. They can champion funding for soundproofing homes and schools, improve air quality standards, and secure resources for affordable housing and local jobs. They are responsible for ensuring the voices of District 33 residents are heard on statewide issues.

The leaders on that stage directly impact your quality of life. They help make the rules and decide how your tax dollars are spent on things like public health, environmental protection, affordable housing, and jobs. Want to know what they promised?
