As cleanup continues on the former site of Kimberly-Clark on the Everett, Washington waterfront the Port of Everett has added the site to the Marine Terminals Master Plan and named it Norton Terminal. Here’s more from the Port.
On November 10, 2020, the Port of Everett Commission approved the Marine Terminals Master Plan Addendum, Appendix E that incorporated the recently acquired 66-acre former Kimberly-Clark mill property, now being called Norton Terminal.
Located between the Port of Everett’s international Seaport and Naval Station Everett, Norton Terminal is the cornerstone of the Port’s Mills to Maritime initiative where work to create a new maritime hub is underway to enhance the movement of maritime commerce and freight, restore jobs to the site and support economic recovery and cargo diversification.
“This revised plan is ideally suited to leverage the Port’s investments in the South Terminal to market our facilities and our breakbulk niche to other customers and cargoes,” said Carl Wollebek, Chief of Operations for the Port of Everett. “This additional upland maritime capacity is critical to our ability to go after cargoes that would add jobs and help spur economic recovery in Everett.”
