Seattle Seven
Appearance
Seattle Seven may refer to:
- Seattle Liberation Front, a prominent anti-Vietnam War group, of whom the Seattle Seven were its best known members.
- A group of seven seafood companies, operating in city of Seattle, Washington, known for negotiating a secret agreement with Exxon corporation in 1991, relating to punitive damages resulting from the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
The companies, (ADF, Icicle Seafoods, North Coast Seafood Processors, North Pacific Processors, Ocean Beauty Seafoods, Trident Seafoods, Wards Cove Packing Co.) were paid $63.75 million, but if should Exxon lose the civil case, they would repay Exxon almost all of their share of the money, which is expected to be about $750 million.[1]
