Greenpeace's historic ship, the Arctic Sunrise, arrives in Seattle, Washington and passes under the Ballard Bridge. "The Arctic Sunrise is here because of the threat to Pacific Northwest communities from the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion," said Rachel Rye Butler, a Pipeline Campaigner with Greenpeace. "The pipeline expansion would violate Indigenous sovereignty and cause a sevenfold increase in tar sands tanker traffic down the West Coast, threatening extinction of the Southern Resident Orca Whale, and jeopardizing the thousands of tourism and fishing industry jobs that depend on clean coasts."
