Fishermen’s Fall Festival — fishermen's finest

The annual Fishermen's Fall Festival returned to Fishermen’s Terminal today, Saturday, September 28th.

The Fishermen’s Fall Festival celebrates the return of the North Pacific fishing fleet to the terminal, works to increase the public’s knowledge of the importance of the fishing industry as well as Fishermen’s Terminal to Seattle while raising money for the Seattle Fishermen’s Memorial Foundation. This event was made possible by the Fishermen's Terminal Tenants Association, donations from local businesses, and over 200 volunteers.

Here’s the line-up of the day’s activities (from the Fishermen’s Fall Festival website):

Salmon BBQ
The best deal on the waterfront! Each salmon meal includes fresh corn on the cob,
coleslaw, beverage and dessert. 100% of the proceeds go towards
Seattle Fishermen's Memorial Foundation.

Kraken Bouncy House
Kids love bouncy castles. But, it wouldn't be a true Seattle event if we didn't also celebrate the Kraken. Kids will love jumping around in this Kraken shaped bouncy house.

Wooden Boat building
The Center for Wooden Boats will be at the Festival helping kids of all ages build a wooden boat.

Boat Tours - Courtesy of Seattle Sea Scouts
The Seattle Sea Scouts will be accompanied by 3 vessels: The Propeller, The Yankee Clipper, and The Argo. Boat rides will be available on the Yankee Clipper and the Argo, and the Propeller will be open for tours.

Ship Canal Tours
Board one of Argosy's Cruise Boats for a free tour of the Lake Washington Ship Canal. Learn about the natural and human history of the Canal and the wide range of maritime activities that contribute to our region’s economy. The Hiram Chittenden Locks, at the west end of the Canal, turned 100 years old in 2017. Find out why the Locks and the Canal were built and how they help sustain our maritime industry.
