Study Kickoff Workshops
The study will include extensive public engagement throughout the process. To begin these efforts, the Port held three Study Kickoff Workshops in June 2024. The workshops were in an open-house format where the public was encouraged to attend and participate. The workshops occurred on: June 5th, 2024 from 6:00 to 8:00pm at Gregory Heights Elementary School in Burien, June 6th, 2024 from 6:00 to 8:00pm at Mount Rainier High School in Des Moines, and on June 8th, 2024 from 10:00am to noon at Glacier Middle School in SeaTac.
