Seattle's leadership tested by berry crop effort and Tacoma dispute
Seattle faces a double test of Northwest leadership today. First, the city is urged to fulfill a $300,000 quota to help the Puyallup Valley berry cannery recover and expand, with farmers having raised $150,000 and Tacoma and Oregon contributions already pledged. The goal is a $1,000,000 drive to fund 1921 operations as the crop nears $5,000,000 in value. Second, a Chamber of Commerce panel will address Tacoma publicity grievances, aiming to resolve tensions, prevent unfounded attacks, and maintain cooperative regional progress. Seattle must show unity to spur regional prosperity.
