Local News | Get NOAA to rethink move to Oregon, Locke urged | Seattle Times Newspaper: "Local and federal elected officials on Thursday urged U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke to intervene in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) decision to move its research fleet from Seattle to Newport, Ore.

In a letter to Locke, a former Washington governor, the officials said NOAA should reconsider basing the fleet at one of two existing federal facilities in Seattle rather than spending $2.5 million annually for a new site in Oregon."
