25 Apr Seattle Cruise Control Educates Passengers and Public on Opening Day

On April 15, the Norwegian Bliss arrived at Pier 66 in Seattle and loaded thousands of arriving passengers as the first sailing of the 2023 season. Seattle Cruise Control, joined by Extinction Rebellion Seattle, and members of the public, walked from Westlake Park to the Bell Street Cruise Terminal, winding our way through downtown streets, the Pike Place Market, and past the Aquarium, passing out informational leaflets, making public speeches, holding a die-in, and sending a message to the Port of Seattle. Cruise is toxic in so many ways – to workers, to the air, water, to the climate, to the health of port communities: We need an equitable transition now and can’t wait for purported solutions like the “Green Corridor” to inevitably fail.
