125- Fishermen's Terminal

The History Of The Evergreen State

Since its opening in 1914, Fishermen's Terminal on Seattle's Salmon Bay has functioned as the home port for the fishing fleet headquartered on Puget Sound.
Soon after King County voters approved the Port of Seattle's comprehensive development plan, the Port began construction on the ambitious project.
Throughout its history, fishing vessels have primarily occupied the piers of the terminal, which was initially designed to be a mixed fishing and freight facility. The Port made multiple improvements and expansions to the terminal to boost mooring capacity and modernize onshore amenities over the years, and though the size of the fishing fleet has shrank as those years have gone by, Fishermen's Terminal remains a vital part of the Evergreen State's maritime industry.
