Commissioners also authorized CEO Tay Yoshitani to develop a strategy for development of port facilities at Terminal 91.
"Our port is protecting and creating good family-wage jobs for King County, by maintaining and updating our facilities," said Commission President Bill Bryant.
Projects approved include:
- Replacement of four mooring dolphins on Harbor Island so that the facility can accommodate up to four 400-foot barges and generate additional revenue for the seaport division;
- Maintenance dredging for Terminals 5 and 18, ensuring adequate depth for navigation and cleaning the waterway by capping contaminated sediments;
- Strategic plan for developing unused property around Terminal 91; and
Granting permanent easements over port property to King County for reconstruction of the South Park Bridge.
