Last week Port of Seattle Firefighters Local 1257 had the opportunity to attend The 2026 State of the Port. This event shared many accomplishments held across all entities needed to keep the Port of Seattle operating in maximum capacity. Speeches were delivered by our commissioners and our Executive Director Steve Metruck with emphasis on the upcoming World Cup, future plans, and contingency in place due to current events. The Fire department has a large role in the operations and it was encouraging seeing us mentioned regarding our efforts being awarded a Protection Class 1 rating according to the Washington state rating bureau. Also our pioneering efforts in expanding our PFAS free foam usage. We look forward to these events and networking with our commissioners and directors to keep the path and future of the Fire department moving forward together.
