Don’t forget your TWIC card if you want to even think about getting close to the water.

You don’t need a federal Transportation Worker Identification Credential for the Port tour. The tour is led by staff members who have TWICs, giving you a rare opportunity to get close to habitat sites you might not otherwise have the chance to see.
Feel free to call us if you have any questions.

I was being snarkey because (lack of)Homeland Security made us get TWIC cards. I don’t even have access to the Blair in my job position. Maybe in 15 years when those old farts at the dock facility finally retire, but not now. Years ago, my Trib route was Sea-Tac. I worked inside that airport for 18 months… long enough to see just what a theater all this “Homeland Security” actually is.
The uselessness of it really gets my goat.
But hey, I got my TWIC. Anyone want a real tour? I know the location of several rusting boats, including the NCC-1702 Kalakala.
