The Seattle Propeller Club, Port of Seattle, Vigor, Harley Marine, The Seattle Times’ Newspapers in Education (NIE) program and the maritime industry partnered together to produce a series of special 12-page newspaper supplements. The supplements featured a cargo hold full of stories about the value of maritime industry to our community and region.

The supplements also were distributed to classrooms throughout the Puget Sound region. The Seattle Times NIE currently serves over 44,000 students and nearly 1,100 educators in Washington state. Over 70% of NIE students are middle school-college level, and over 41% of NIE educators teach some type of STEM education in their classroom.
