Fishermen's Tribute Plaza
After several years of collaboration, the Fisherman’s Tribute Committee, in partnership with the Port of Everett, installed a Fisherman’s Tribute Statue on the Everett waterfront on June 23, 2011. The Port’s contribution, in addition to staff support, was to construct a Fisherman’s Tribute Plaza to house the statue as part of its Marine Craftsman District.
The plaza is located adjacent to Waterfront Center along the north waterfront walkway. This plaza is a gathering place and resting spot for marina visitors, and includes a historical marker of the commercial fishing industry.
The statue was fabricated by Kevin Pettelle, an artist known for his work on Everett’s Mike Jordan statue and Seattle’s J.P. Patches statue.
