It seems that some angry Rucker Hill residents have saved the terrorists considerable time and trouble and have informed the world of how easily the Port of Everett security can be distracted.

The media have helped, too.

I have to wonder, too, what came first, the port or the neighborhood?

Indeed.  I have no doubt that Abdul, Achmed and Muhammed are squatting in their cave right now, researching the Port of Everett over the internet and thanking the AP and Fox News for the great information.

I believe that this same area has been in use as a seaport since the Age of Sail, because it's an ideal location for oceangoing commerce.  It's well-protected from major storms coming in off the Pacific through the Straits of Juan de Fuca by Whidbey Island.  Being right at the end of the Straits it provides more convenient access for ships than Seattle, which is father south.
