Docks 5-10 Renewal and Replacement Project

Background

For the past few years the Port of Seattle has been working closely with the Fishermen's Terminal Advisory Committee (FTAC) and the fishing community to redevelop Docks 5 through 10 at Fishermen's Terminal. The project will:

  • renew useful life of dock and moorage facilities
  • reconfigure moorage to respond to market trends with a more diversified mix of moorage slips
  • accommodate increased vessel beam widths, lengths, and drafts.

Design

The design includes demolition of existing Docks 5 through 10. Docks 5, 7, and 10 will be reconstructed as combination fixed and floating concrete docks. Dock 6 will be removed to accommodate longer slips and maintain fairway widths of the new docks. Docks 8 and 9 will be reconstructed as floating docks. A new floating dock, referred to as the Multi-Use Dock, will be built between Dock 10 and the West Wall along the face of the South Wall. A new linear, floating Public Access Dock will also be constructed between Docks 9 and 10.

The completed project will provide approximately:

  • 2,892 linear feet of side tie moorage
  • Sixty-four 40' slips
  • Thirty-one 45' slips
  • Twenty-nine 50' slips
  • Forty-two 65' slips
  • One 95' slip
  • One 100' slip
  • Upgraded utilities, including potable water, fire protection: electrical service will be extended to the new docks.

Schedule

Phase I: October 2006 - May 2007
Phase II: October 2007 - May 2008

Recently Completed Projects

South Wall Repair - Completed July 2005

In August 2002, the Port of Seattle started a three year major reconstruction project of the South Wall at Fishermen's Terminal. The old South Wall was constructed in the early 1900's, and this aging structure must be repaired to return the area to full use. The work was phased over a three year period to help minimize impacts to our tenants, public, and Port operations and to accommodate permit constraints.

Water Main Replacement - Completed Fall, 2005

The Port of Seattle replaced existing water lines along the southern portion of the Fishermen's Terminal beginning May 2005. Most of the existing lines were approximately 50 years old and had exceeded their design life. These lines were no longer reliable and were replaced in order to meet code-required and fire protection capacity requirements.

The proposed work included:

  • Installation of approximately 3,500 linear feet (LF) of water main ranging from 6” to 10” in diameter
  • Replacement of fire hydrants
  • Installation of back flow prevention assembly and isolation valves
  • Trenching, excavation, and backfilling of excavated trenches
  • Repaving of disturbed areas
