The Seattle Seafarers Center provides a vital role caring for the wellbeing of seafarers who visit major ports of the inland waters of the Puget Sound.
Their mission is to welcome and care for seafarers who visit Puget Sound. They provide that care through the following:
- Do ship visits and provide seafarers transportation while in port here.
- Connect crews with vaccine providers such as Discovery Health.
- Offer communication tools, such as SIM cards, and other basic necessities, such as shopping, for seafarers.
In addition, Seattle Seafarers Center fosters leadership and vocational development through its internship program.
Finally, they regularly engage in outreach with local communities to raise the visibility of seafarers. Outreach focuses first on local communities of faith while expanding to other partners in the maritime industry, such as the Seattle Propeller Club. We also work with local communities of faith to sponsor an annual holiday ditty bag drive.
