Medical and emergency supplies to depart from SEA Airport

A joint effort of humanitarian nonprofit Nova Ukraine and Stanford University Students partnered with the Ukrainian Association of Washington State (UAWS) to coordinate $3.5 million worth of emergency medical supplies that have been loaded on a cargo flight headed out in the next few days to Ukraine from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Gov. Jay Inslee, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, and Port of Seattle Commissioner Hamdi Mohamed were on-hand to highlight these Ukrainian community organizations and the relief efforts underway throughout the region.
