PNWER  CEO Matt Morrison spoke to a local Seattle news station on the trade dispute. 
​
"
Morrison pointed out that Washington is the most trade-dependent state in the country. It doesn't matter if they're coming from Canada or Mexico -- the price of steel will go up and the price of aluminum will go up, and everything else. This is going to have an impact on our economy,” Morrison said.
