These Puget Sound pilots don't fly (Full Episode) / Seattle Now

Safely navigating narrow Puget Sound passages is tricky business, especially for cargo boats. Port pilots and scientists make these journeys possible.

Seattleites take deep pride in all of the water cutting through and surrounding our city. The straits and passages that define this region cover over a thousand square miles. To move through these waters, ships rely on nautical charts to reach their destination.

In this episode of Seattle Now, Jennie Cecil Moore talks with port pilot and former tugboat captain Brad Lowe, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientist Crescent Moegling, and oceanographer William Sweet to explore the challenges and adventures in navigating the winding waters of Puget Sound.
