Seattle Port Commission debate: Peter Steinbrueck and Preeti Shridhar

SEATTLE - This fall voters through King County will be deciding on three seats for Seattle Port Commission.  Commissioners run two multi-billion enterprises, the Seaport along Seattle's Waterfront, and SeaTac Airport.  As a public entity the Port collects about $73 million in property taxes from the residents of King County.

The candidates recently sat down for a debate at Q13 News.  It first aired on Sunday, Oct 15.  Below are excepts from that exchange.
