Seattle as a Free Port and Harbor Advantages
The article argues for Seattle as a prime free port site citing its harbor, 140 miles of waterfront, and Lake Washington canal. It notes easy anchorage, no towage or pilotage fees, and faster access from world trade routes, with Magnolia Bluff and Harbor Island proposed for development and rail connections already in place.
