Operators were using equipment to demolish the wooden pier stretching across the Dakota Creek Industries ship basin while U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen took a tour of the upland development and environmental cleanup project Wednesday, Aug. 6.
Larsen was accompanied by DCI Vice President Mike Nelson, Port of Anacortes Executive Director Bob Hyde, staff members and port commissioners Bill Short, Steve Hopley and Pat Mooney, and environmental project manager Marc Estvold. The port is working on the Pier 1 project in conjunction with DCI.
