Oldham, Kit, Peter Blecha & the HistoryLink Staff.

First Printing. Square quarto. 128pp. Index. With nearly two hundred illustrations in color. Hardcover; a Fine copy in dust jacket, as New. // "A century ago Seattle was held hostage by its own waterfront. The great natural harbor of Elliott Bay was the young city's reason for being, but along the shoreline competing railroad companies built a chaotic sprawl of railroad lines, docks, and warehouses. Those corporate owners had few reasons to cooperate, making agreement on much-needed improvements nearly impossible. Conditions were so bad that visionary civic planner Virgil Bogue called the harborside "a blot on the city and a menace to the lives of its people."With little to show for many years of bickering and lawsuits, Washington residents revolted. One century ago, the state legislature passed, and Governor Marion Hay signed into law, the Port District Act. It provided for the creation of independent government bodies to run the state's ports - a controversial, even radical, concept that gained broad approval. In September of that year King County voters approved creation of the state's first public port district by a three-to-one margin.The Port of Seattle quickly proved its worth during the turbulent World War I years, when it briefly became the second busiest in the country after New York. In succeeding decades, the Port undertook many projects that would have been difficult or impossible for private companies, met the challenges of the Depression, forged cooperative and productive relations with longshore and other unions, founded Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (now by far its largest operation), helped pioneer the revolution in containerized cargo, and generated tens of thousands of jobs for the city and surrounding communities. Entering its second century, the Port is a recognized leader in environmental restoration and sustainable aviation and shipping practices and is one of the major drivers of the regional economy." ~ from the publisher
