Seattle Seafarers Center Ship Visiting Team
Our economy in Puget Sound is built around our ports. Yet, very few know about the crews that work on the container and bulk cargo ships that visit Tacoma and Seattle. These ships are staffed by men and women who spend up to 11 months away from family and face isolation and loneliness. Would you like to be part of welcoming and caring for these hard working mariners? The Seattle Seafarers Center is putting together a Ship Visiting Team in Tacoma. They will provide training. Interested? Please call 206-935-3439 or email office@mts-seattle.org
