We covered the trade war and what tariffs are actually doing to Pacific Northwest farmers and shippers, the green energy transition in maritime and why he thinks it's unstoppable regardless of who's in the White House, shipbuilding in the Pacific Northwest and why it’s for region's maritime future, workforce development and the careers young people should be paying attention to, and what's coming up at the Port including World Cup preparations.
