(Oct 10) Fantastic day celebrating the dedication of the new building for the Seattle Maritime Academy in the heart of Ballard. The Academy is part of the Seattle Central College and supported by $20 million from the state. College President Sheila Edwards Lange was there as well as House Speaker Frank Chopp, Gael Tarleton, Jeanne Kohl-Welles, Port Commissioners Tom Albro and Fred Felleman, and many others. This is a big deal for Ballard and for the maritime industry. Too bad there were no city councilmembers there. The picture on the left is the Bridge Simulator. The picture on the right is Speaker Chopp who gave a full-throated appreciation of the maritime industry and the jobs it represents.
