Port of Olympia and City of Olympia Meeting

UPDATE: The "Military Cargo" item has been removed from the agenda.

On Thursday March 25 there is scheduled a meeting between representatives from the Port of Olympia and the City of Olympia. One of the topics of that meeting will likely be the issue of military cargoes through the port and city. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 PM at the Phoenix Inn (415 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA) in the Phoenix Room.

The following is what appears on the City of Olympia weekly agenda:
