On January 10, 1914, a large excited throng crowded the shores of Salmon Bay and greeted the cheerfully decorated flotilla of over 200 fishing vessels hailing from Olympia to Alaska to the fanfare of bands, speeches, and a gala luncheon. The occasion was the dedication and opening of “Fishermen’s Headquarters,” known today as Fishermen’s Terminal. The fleet that plies the dangerous waters of the North Pacific finally had a place to call home.

This terminal was built on a snug harbor in Salmon Bay between Ballard and Magnolia neighborhoods. It was conceived of as a general cargo facility and a dedicated home port for the fishermen of the region who fished the Northwest and Alaskan waters and later became the epicenter of the fishing and maritime industries.
