Seattle's Fishermen's Terminal Rebuild Could Double Commercial Fishing

A long-planned redevelopment of Seattle's Fishermen's Terminal is inching forward, with plans to begin work next year and hopes that it could double the city's commercial fishing business.

Design work on the project is set to begin later this year, with the hope to begin construction on new buildings sometime in 2018.

The project, which was announced in April 2016 after two years of planning, will attempt to double the size of a fishing operation that generates $450 million in revenue and nearly $40 million in state and local taxes each year. The plan comes after nearly $30 million worth of improvements to the port's moorage over the last 10 years.
