Economic Climate Got You Down? Feeling
Insignificant?
You shouldn't if you or your business
touches the Port of Seattle's operations by air, land or sea. The Port of
Seattle released its latest Economic Impact report in February 2009. Based
on 2007 and some 2008 statistics, the Port of Seattle's operations and the
businesses they do business with are among the largest producers in the
regions, nay the state.
When combined with its tenants, Port of
Seattle is responsible for the direct employment of 111,317 individuals,
ranking among the top job-producers in the region including Microsoft
(35,510 in Seattle and Washington state), Boeing (74,517), and the
University of Washington (28,188)*.
Real estate tenants and
businesses providing services at Port-owned marine terminals and
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport generated $17.6 billion in revenues,
ranking among some of the region's top 10 producers like Amazon.com ($10.7
billion), Paccar ($16.5 billion), and Weyerhaeuser ($21.9
billion)*.
