In response to the Biden Administration’s executive actions to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, rescind the “Travel Ban/Muslim Ban” and institute a federal mask mandate, Port of Seattle Commission President Fred Felleman and Executive Director Steve Metruck released the following statement:
“As we watch today’s inauguration, our focus is on how the Port can partner with federal and local leaders to build back better. Today's actions — which rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, rescind the “Travel Ban/Muslim Ban,” and institute a federal mask mandate — are key to the Port of Seattle's ability to successfully resume full operations and meet our mission and goals. We celebrate these important steps, and we look forward to working with the new Biden administration on the economic, environmental, and civil issues that will define a sustainable and equitable recovery. We call on Congress to join us together in this effort.”
