On January 5, after the approval of previous minutes, and a few laughs, the Port of Seattle Commission swore in two new Port Commissioners, Tom Albro and Rob Holland.
Commissioner Holland, who is openly Gay was sworn in by former Governor of Washington, John D. Spellman. Commissioner Albro was sworn in by his son. Also, re-sworn was Commissioner John Creighton. Commissioner Creighton was sworn in by Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn.
"I truly believe that this port is poised for success," said Commissioner Bill Bryant, President of the Port of Seattle Commission, after the swearing-in ceremony. Commissioner Bryant went on to detail the tough budget decisions that were made by the Commission last year, and that he thought that this year, with the help of Commissioners Holland and Albro, things would be better.
"Now I'm fully aware that I stand between you all and cookies," said Commissioner Bryant, "but I'd like to thank Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and former Washington Governor John Spellman for showing up today."
Before the commissioners went ahead with their meeting, a short break was called where anyone in attendance could meet and greet with the Port of Seattle Commissioners.
