STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE ORDER
The Port of Seattle has established a strong and comprehensive ethics program for employees and

Commission adopted Resolution No. 3833, a revised code of ethics, in January 2025, incorporating
provisions to further strengthen ethics requirements for the Commission.
The Port of Seattle Commission Code of Ethics provides for the appointment of an Ethics Board
composed of three members by majority vote of the Commission "to ensure proper and consistent
implementation" of the Code. The Board serves as the formal mechanism to consider all
complaints against Port Commissioners and acts as an advisory body to provide guidance on
ethical matters to the Port Commission or individual Commissioners upon request.
