I am a strong supporter for the family fishers and believe that the Port should continue to assist and maintain the net sheds for fishers at reasonable rates. The net sheds are an important symbol for the fishers and we should not simply tear them down to make way for high rise developments. We should not follow what has happened in Everett when the net sheds came down, high rise/marinera were developed that kick out the fishing fleet. If you believe that the Port should continue to retain the net sheds and the current way of life for the fishers, I need to hear from you……

Now the Port is threatening to tear down the net sheds and raise berthing fees again. It looks like a continuing effort to gentrify the terminal and convert it to leisure and recreation. I would like to see a stronger effort to support the Seattle fishing industry. We subsidize the cargo and cruise ship industry. Why can’t the Port commit to keeping our home-grown fishing industry berthed in Ballard? I would like to know your views on this issue.
