Seaview Boatyard, a longtime Ballard business, was recently recognized for its environmental commitment and best practices.
The business was recently awarded with the Environmental Excellence Award for Leading Environmental Practices by the Association of Washington Businesses (AWB).
AWB's Environmental Excellence Awards recognize member companies for exemplary innovations and achievements in environmental protection, conservation and compliance.
Seaview's proactive approach for complying with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) was cited as a critical reason they were recognized for this award, along with creating a system of best business practices and investment in new equipment that would reduce environmental impacts.
Located at Shilshole Bay Marina, Seaview Boatyard has enjoyed great success amongst the Puget Sound boating community since 1973.
"We at Seaview Boatyard will continue to be environmental stewards in the business community," said Phil Riise, owner of Seaview Boatyard.
"The port has long been familiar with Seaview Boatyard's environmental commitment and great reputation in the boating community, and congratulates them on receiving this award" said Tay Yoshitani, Port of Seattle CEO in a congratulatory statement. "We're proud to have them as our tenants and neighbors."
