September 16 - John Klekotka, chief of engineering and planning at the Port of Everett, has been appointed to represent public ports on Washington State's Transportation Improvement Board.

"Ensuring we have a strong, safe and functional transportation infrastructure is something that I am particularly passionate about," states Klekotka, who begins the role immediately and will serve until June 2018.
