King County, Port of Seattle, City of Seattle, Sound Transit, Alaska Airlines, and Delta Airlines on Friday will launch a public awareness campaign to stop labor and sex trafficking in the Puget Sound region. It will expand a successful campaign led in 2013 by the King County Council that dramatically increased the number of trafficking survivors who received the medical care, financial assistance, housing, and other resources they needed.
In addition to leaders representing partners — King County Executive Dow Constantine, Port Commissioner Courtney Gregoire, County Councilmembers Regan Dunn and Jeanne Kohl-Welles, King County Sheriff Mitzi Johanknecht, and Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best — a survivor who is now a response coordinator with the Washington Anti-Trafficking Response Network will be available for interviews.
