Fishermen's Terminal
A new film by B.J. Bullert


RUNNER-UP for 'Best Documentary,' Golden Space Needle Awards, 2005 Seattle International Film Festival.



Seattle’s Fishermen’s Terminal has been the home of the North Pacific Fishing Fleet for nearly a century, but in 2001, the Port of Seattle announced it would open this traditional, blue-collar, commercial fishing enclave to pleasure boats.

A handful of small-boat fishermen decided to fight.

Four years in the making, Fishermen’s Terminal tells the story of the commercial fishermen and their supporters who took on the Port and shined a spotlight on the public agency that controls most of Seattle’s waterfront.



“Fishermen’s Terminal is a fascinating glimpse of a rare American scene, a compelling story of the struggle of those heroes of the nation - the fishermen of the Pacific coast - against the invasion of their lives and livelihood by upper-class America.”
- HOWARD ZINN, historian, A People’s History of the United States
