Mike McLaughlin, director, maritime cruise and marketing, is retiring after 36 eventful years at the Port of Seattle.
McLaughlin has led Seattle s cruise business during a time of tremendous growth and development. He s proud of milestones like the port leading the West Coast in cruise volumes, handling more than a million revenue passengers in 2018 and 2019.
And although the typical Alaska cruise season lasts just a little more than five months, it brings nearly $5bn to the local economy.
