Port of Seattle

[M-4]

Hello,

Has anyone recently been through the hiring process with the Port of Seattle? I heard they have 10 vacancies and I may have an oral board with them soon. Looks like a great department!

I know someone who worked with the Port of Seattle. Said its a really, really great department.

Good luck! The department is full of amazing officers!

I know a gal who works in their office and she said they tend to only hire laterals. Told me she couldn't remember the last time they picked up a new person.

When did she tell you that Nathan? Hopefully things have changed recently haha.

The last time was probably three months ago. Hopefully they're opening up!

At the Public Safety Job Fair in Renton they said 2 of the 10 openings were for entry level

Does anyone know what a standard patrol schedule for the port is? Number of days worked in a row and how many hours in a shift. Also how many times a year do they have to switch shifts, if at all. Thanks in advance.

This is from the publicsafetytesting website: Patrol officers work a 3/12 or 4/12 84.0 hr. schedule and bid for yearly schedules
