The association’s purpose
The Western Washington Taxicab Operators Association (WWTCOA) described itself as a not-for-profit membership association promoting fairness, justice and transparency in Seattle’s taxi industry. Its work brought drivers together around regulation, safety, service, representation and a stronger collective voice.
The association’s 2016–2018 pages recorded nearly 500 owners and drivers and a 15-member elected leadership council. Those figures describe that historical period; they are not a count of today’s membership or a current council roster.
The record, in its own time
2012–2013 / Building the association
Early Fare Times issues and news reports document organising, meetings and participation in public debate.
2014–2016 / Driver issues in public
The archive follows customer-service training, insurance issues, local policy, Olympia visits and airport work.
2020 / A sudden disruption
Later notices address airport trip fees and emergency pandemic assistance. Their instructions and circumstances belong to 2020.
Useful information, with a clear route
The driver desk connects practical questions with the organisation responsible: City and County licensing, the Port’s airport programme and the Union’s published representation and membership routes. The original news remains alongside new editorial guides.
