Recently, I got e-mails that Gael Tarleton, president of the Port of Seattle Commission, is running for state representative. Another Port of Seattle Commissioner, Rob Holland, called me saying that he, too, is running for state representative. Bill Bryant, also a Port of Seattle commissioner, is mulling over which office to run for. Is the Port of Seattle a good stepping stone? No doubt about it. Remember that Lloyd Hara, a former commissioner, was elected King County Assessor in 2009. A tip for commissioners: Go for an open seat like Hara did. (end)
