Northwest Seaport Alliance grant to fund EV charging depot
This story was originally published on Trucking Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Trucking Dive newsletter. Zeem Solutions will build an electric vehicle charging facility in SeaTac, Washington, as part of a $5.12 million grant from the Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA), according to a July 9 press release. The site can charge 250 vehicles per day and has the parking capacity to accommodate 70 vehicles overnight. Construction is expected to begin fall 2025, according to the port. Trucks such as light-, medium- and heavy-duty electric commercial vehicles will be able to use Zeem's SeaTac depot. Located near the new I-5 exit ramp just south of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the site is expected to enable local truck fleet operators to provide zero-emission freight deliveries as they haul containers from the ports of Seattle and Tacoma to inland warehouses. The Northwest Seaport Alliance's grant aims to offset the high purchase cost of electric Class 8 drayage trucks. The port had received funding for its grant from the Washington State Department of Transportation and identified Zeem as a subrecipient. 'Nearly 4,000 short-haul trucks serve the ports of Seattle and Tacoma, traveling to nearby distribution centers and warehouses,' Zeem said in the press release. '[T]ruck fleet operators will be able to switch to electric trucks and charging without the large amount of upfront capital typically needed for heavy-duty EVs and charging infrastructure.' As part of the grant, six local fleet operators will be able to purchase electric trucks at a more affordable rate, Zeem said. The fleets will charge and domicile the trucks at Zeem's SeaTac depot. While Zeem and its fleet partners are absorbing a substantial portion of the total project costs, the company is partnering with local drayage providers to reduce the impact of the new trucks on the local SeaTac driver community, according to the port. The port's sustainability efforts follow its Decarbonizing Drayage Roadmap to 2050, which was announced in April. The roadmap outlines about 70 recommendations to guide the transition to zero-emission drayage trucks in the Puget Sound region.

SeaTac, WA police seek public's help in identifying armed robbery suspect
The Brief SeaTac police seek the public's help to identify a suspect in multiple armed robberies and burglaries. The suspect, caught on camera, threatened a hotel clerk at gunpoint and allegedly committed four crimes in 20 days. Crime Stoppers is offering up to $1,000 for tips leading to his arrest, which can be submitted anonymously. SEATAC, Wash. - SeaTac police are urging the public to help identify a suspect connected to a series of armed robberies and burglaries that have struck the area in recent weeks. The suspect was caught on security cameras during a May 18 incident, where he threatened a hotel clerk at gunpoint. "The video shows a male walking into a local hotel here in SeaTac and starting a conversation with the clerk. Then he turns around, pulls a gun out of what appears to be his waistband, points it directly at the clerk, and essentially says, 'Give me all of your money or I'm going to kill you,'" said Officer Justyce Edgar of the SeaTac Police Department. Dig deeper The suspect fled the scene with cash, but police say this was just one of four incidents involving the same individual over the past 20 days. In addition to the hotel robbery, he is believed to have struck again in Seattle and Burien, as well as burglarizing a home in Shoreline. "He's very violent and it instills fear in his victims. He's quick to pull out his gun and point it at the victim and threaten them," said Officer Edgar. In the Shoreline burglary, the suspect reportedly forced his way into a residence after knocking and ringing the doorbell to see if anybody was home. "He is very confident in what he's doing," Edgar continued. "He goes into these places without wearing any face mask or anything like that. So, I believe that he's not afraid to get caught. Somebody knows who he is, and we want to catch him because we won't tolerate it." Police have released clear photos of the suspect, hoping that someone in the community might recognize him. Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to his arrest, and tips can be submitted anonymously via the P3 Tips app or by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

‘NO STRIKE': SEA Airport aircraft fuelers reach agreement with employer
150 aircraft fuelers at SEA Airport were poised to walk off the job after teamsters voted unanimously Tuesday to authorize a strike. But by Friday, the Teamsters and employer Swissport had reached an agreement and averted any strike. According to Jamie Fleming, a union leader with Teamsters Local 174, the 'nonstop marathon of negotiations' on Thursday and Friday included members of Swissport's highest levels of management, some of whom flew across the Atlantic Ocean to participate in the bargaining. 'After the unanimous strike vote on Tuesday, we told Swissport they needed to return to negotiations with a renewed sense of urgency to reaching a deal or they would be on strike,' said Teamsters Local 174 Secretary-Treasurer Rick Hicks. 'We are pleased to announce that they did exactly that, bringing in managers with decision-making power and industry knowledge that allowed us to work together to reach a deal we know our members will be proud to ratify. I applaud management's commitment to investing in our members, and our attention will now focus on the consortium of major airlines at SeaTac, as well as the Port of Seattle management, to provide the funds necessary for a living wage in the Seattle market. We welcome any local politicians who are willing to assist in this endeavor.' Members will vote on the 'fully-recommended' offer next Tuesday. KIRO 7 has reached out to Swissport for comment on the agreement.
