Seattle port commissioners vote to delay Shell: Ships still inbound

The Seattle Port Commission, responding to intense and conflicting pressure, opted for a contradictory solution Tuesday that would “delay” mooring of Shell’s Arctic drilling fleet at Terminal 5.

“We have a national spotlight on us,” said Stephanie Bowman as commissioners took up what to do about the home port from hell.

The commission’s action may well be ignored.  “Rig movement will continue in the days to come,” Curtis Smith, a Shell spokesman, said Tuesday night.
