In this special episode, we sit down with Toshiko Hasegawa, Port of Seattle Commissioner and candidate for King County Council District 2, for a wide-ranging conversation about trade wars, the Port's recovery, the Teal New Deal, workforce development in maritime, and her vision for the future of our region. From the cruise industry boom to sustainable fuels, from the history of Japanese internment to fighting for economic justice today, Toshiko shares why maritime careers matter for everyone and how we build a future where opportunity is accessible to all.
