Those with the Port of Seattle say not only is this an exciting season for travelers, but it’s also record-breaking. They expect 1.4 million passengers to set sail this year. “This is the number one trip for many travelers in the United States is to take a cruise from Seattle to Alaska.

The group ‘Seattle Cruise Control’ organized a protest Saturday in Seattle, demanding that the port reevaluate the toll a thriving cruise season takes on the Puget Sound. “One of the things that we’re asking for is for the Port of Seattle to put a cap on the number of sailings for the 2024 cruise season and then keep reducing that number of sailings every year until we get to zero emissions by 2040,” said Stacy Oaks who helped organize the protest.
