The Office of Social Responsibility works with a variety of businesses and business leaders to provide opportunities for small businesse owners with a chance to work with the Port and also gain greater exposure in the community at-large.
This page reflects many business owners' appreciation they have for the Port and the Port's efforts to create business opportunities in the Greater Seattle area.
"Thank you Port of Seattle for showing its commitment to diversity and quality service by selecting Northwest Center as a contractor for its facilities. Hiring qualified individuals with disabilities is a key component of Northwest Center's mission, and we are grateful for the opportunity to join forces with the Port in support of this objective. We look forward to a long and successful partnership."
David Wunderlin, President/CEO, Northwest Center“I got the opportunity to bring more local flavor to the airport when the Port of Seattle supported me in a market that otherwise might have been difficult to enter.” As a small business owner, Dan Eberhardt found his niche at Sea-Tac Airport. His Old Seattle Delis serve travelers comfort food to go—hot soups, meaty sandwiches, tempting pastries—and coffee from a micro-roaster in Maple Valley.
Dan Eberhardt, Owner, Old Seattle Delis.“Our company is grateful for the Office of Social Responsibility and everything they are doing. Through their hard work we have received a contract with the Port of Seattle. They connected the proper links to put us in a position to meet the right people, and also provided the advocacy that was needed. Thank you for the opportunity and keep up the great work!”
Elijah Baker, Integrity Professional Services"With so many opportunities and challenges facing our region, we are honored to have been selected by the Port of Seattle to help create a policy framework for the strategic plan that will guide its programs and plans in the coming decades."
Rita Brogan CEO, PRR Inc."All of us at TYRISCO, INC. wish to thank you so much for the opportunity to be of service to the Port of Seattle. The historic decision by Brown and Brown, the 6th largest insurance broker in the US, to form a "Strategic Alliance" with TYRISCO, INC. was based partly on our ability to handle major public-private sector accounts such as the Port of Seattle, Starbucks, etc. Thanks again to all of you!"
L. David Tyner, III President / CEO TYRISCO, INC.
