  3. Public Information Officer. AKA media liaison. The same person with whom I spoke. The incident hasn’t escalated – I would imagine the PIO’s heading to the scene just because there’s most likely TV there, getting ready to go live at 4/5. She did post a quick update via Twitter after we spoke – still nobody hurt, Fire Deparment in precautionary mode

  5. Hubby is Marine Clerk at Port of Seattle. No news from him so I guess it was not too big a deal.
