The Port of Seattle and non-profit strategic alliance Washington Maritime Blue continue efforts to merge the region’s longstanding maritime heritage with the modern innovation economy as they launched a new startup accelerator cohort last month.
The maritime accelerator program first launched at the beginning of 2020 in partnership with WeWork Labs, the co-working company’s startup incubator. Participating startups get access to mentors and advisors, as well as a chance to attend workshops that help guide entrepreneurs through challenges and obstacles.

Just as salmon swim against the current, a team of researchers faced a difficult journey on their quest to answer a decades-old problem: what causes the death of coho salmon that are exposed to stormwater runoff?
After five years, the UW-led research team has successfully traced the previously unexplained coho salmon mortality to a formerly unknown chemical that is a byproduct of an industrial chemical widely used to preserve rubber tires— of which three billion are produced annually around the world.
