I counted 2 container ships total.

That report provides few actual facts as to whether 30 ships scheduled for Seattle & Tacoma is more or less than normal (feels like less), and it's from Fox.

Although I love that reporter Gal's hat. So Seattle.

The crews were taking pictures to show that even though they have containers on board, and we've all seen ships with towers of containers on the upper deck, lots and lots of the spaces that the containers are locked into for travel have nothing in them.

So ships may be coming but with much smaller loads than usual.
