From the Seattle Times:

For the last 10 years, Linda Styrk has been working her way up at the Port of Seattle, managing container terminals, heading the modernization of Terminal 5 and the channel deepening project.

Since the announcement of a seaport alliance in October, Styrk has been working with the Port of Tacoma to help create a business out of two historically rival ports.

Tuesday she announced her resignation to become executive director of the Puget Sound Pilots organization.
