Mayor Harrell, Awards Presentation highlight 2023 Maritime Day Breakfast

What an amazing and inspiring 71st Seattle Maritime Day Breakfast to celebrate the importance of our local maritime industry! 

Huge thanks to Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell for his inspiring keynote address and commitment to the future of the industry. We also really appreciated the comments by Port of Seattle Commission President Sam Cho and Stephanie Bowman, Maritime Industry Director for the State of Washington.

The highlight of the Breakfast was the presentation of the Maritime Achievement Award (person of the year) to Warren Aakervik, Ballard Oil, and the presentation of the Public Official of the Year Award to Tremain Holloway, principal, Maritime High School.

More than 230 maritime industry leaders attended the breakfast.

Special thanks to our presenting sponsors and table hosts:
