The Port of Seattle Commission has selected Stephanie Bowman of Seattle to fill the seat vacated by Rob Holland. Ms. Bowman, now executive director of the Washington Asset Building Coalition, is the former manager of federal government affairs at the Port of Tacoma.

"We very much look forward to working with Stephanie,” said Commission President Tom Albro. "She has the background and skills to be an outstanding member of our commission and asset to the port. Her in-depth knowledge of port issues will enable her to hit the ground running.”

Ms. Bowman’s commission seat will be on the King County ballot in November, when voters will elect a commissioner to serve a full four-year term.
