WARRENTON — When Pacific Coast Seafood reopens its plant in Warrenton, crab will be on the roster of seafood it processes.
The Warrenton Planning Commission on Thursday night approved, with conditions, a request to modify a previously approved site design for the facility. Representatives of the seafood company said the additional 15,000 square feet of floor space requested would be dedicated to crab processing, a move that will provide steady employment throughout the year, they said. An estimated 106 jobs will be created or maintained by the plant. Whiting and rockfish will also be processed there, as in the past.
With the Planning Commission’s approval in hand, Pacific Seafood representatives say crab processing could begin at the end of the year, in time for the commercial Dungeness season that traditionally opens in December.
