Cooke Aquaculture Plans To Relocate Salmon Farm To East Of Ediz Hook

PORT ANGELES — Cooke Aquaculture plans to relocate its Atlantic-salmon farming operation east of Ediz Hook because of the U.S. Navy’s pier project at the hook, Innes Weir, general manager, said Tuesday.

“The Navy in its divine wisdom decided it was going to build a pier pretty much on top of where we farm,” he told Port Angeles Business Association members during their meeting Tuesday.

“Whether or not we can stay here while the pier is being built remains to be seen, but we certainly can’t stay here while the pier is operational.”
