Dear Commissioners and Colleagues,

It’s time to confirm that the Port should no longer entertain the idea of constructing a cruise ship terminal at

Terminal 46 - whether in the fourth quarter of 2020 any time in the future. In the short term, spending half a million

dollars mothballing efforts to develop the terminal both short-sighted and wasteful.

Beyond the current pandemic, investing hundreds of millions of taxpayer funds in this reckless project will

encounter huge public disapproval. Not only are the mega ships incubators for deadly disease, but also they are

vectors for toxic discharges and greenhouse gas emissions. Seattle does not need the extra revenue from this non

essential luxury industry.

Please acknowledge that Seattle will be better served by utilizing Terminal 46 as a cargo port, a public park or a

maritime academy. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Peggy J. Printz

Seattle
