Also, we will be accepting nominations for the recipient of the Seattle Propeller Club’s Public Official of the Year Award recipient. Each year the Seattle Propeller Club recognizes a local elected or public official whose outstanding work or service has made a significant contribution to maritime commerce in the Pacific Northwest.
