The Port of Seattle is committed to preserving its maritime and industrial assets at Fishermen’s Terminal, home to the North Pacific Fishing Fleet. Because of its role in the regional economy, it is essential to the Port of Seattle that this complex continues to support the industry and meet the changing needs of the fleet.
Now that upgrades to the terminal’s moorage have been made, the next step to ensure a vibrant maritime hub is a planning strategy for the aging structures, and a discussion about opportunities to make improvements.
To define an overall strategy, the Port has launched the Fishermen’s Terminal 20-Year Plan. The 20-Year Plan will clarify future needs through outreach to key customers and tenants. Plus, it will incorporate the findings of the two projects already underway – the Asset Condition Assessment and the Storage Locker Code Compliance Project.
The 20-Year Plan is being conducted with an extensive stakeholder outreach program. Key stakeholder groups are the fishing fleets and the landside tenants. Stakeholders have the opportunity to participate in the planning in a variety of forums. Click here for the process flow chart. The outreach and planning process is expected be completed in Fall 2010.

At this time, the outreach program is well underway. Several one-on-one meetings have been held with fishermen. On January 6, the “Customer Open House” was conducted at Chinooks restaurant. Staff also reached out to six community and industry groups by giving them informational presentations on the purpose of the plan.
