Employees operating Pier 86 grain terminal control panel, Seattle, October 28, 1970
Order an ImageIn 1970 the Port of Seattle spent millions of dollars finishing and upgrading container terminals, airport projects, and new property acquisitions to support what is a major contributor to regional economic growth. Seattle's grain exports were moved at the time to the $15 million Pier 86 Grain Facility in the Interbay neighborhood. This property replaced the Port’s Hanford Street Grain terminal, opened in 1915 along the Duwamish East Waterway, in what is now the SoDo neighborhood.
In this image Cargill, Inc., employees Arnold Gunderson, left, and Roy Jacobson demonstrate the control panel used to operate the new grain terminal at Pier 86.
