Accidents in Washington Ports & Locations
Seattle is the hub of the maritime industry in the U.S. Northwest. Along with its close proximity to Alaska and Vancouver Island, Seattle also serves as a gateway to destinations abroad. Every day, container ships and cruise ships come into and leave Seattle through Puget Sound, carrying cargo and passengers from around the world.
Beyond its geography, Seattle is a popular cruise destination for several other reasons as well. The Space Needle and Pike Place Market are both instantly recognizable, and Seattle is as well-known for its professional sports teams as it is for its natural beauty. On any given day, it is not unusual to see orcas, dolphins and whales not far off Seattle’s shores.
