Pier 57 (Seattle)
Pier 57 (originally Pier 6) is located in Seattle, Washington near the foot of University Street. Currently under private ownership, the pier is now a tourist attraction with gift shops, tourist attractions, and restaurants.
==History==
The pier was originally built for the John B. Agen Company. It was built in 1902 by the Miller and Geske Construction Company and repeatedly modified over the course of the next decade. In 1909, the pier passed into the hands of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, the last of four transcontinental railroads to reach Seattle. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul was commonly known as the "Milwaukee Road," so the pier became known as the "Milwaukee Pier." It soon became the terminal for the McCormick Steamship Line, the Munson McCormick Line and Osaka Shosen Kaisha, and by the mid-1930s was also known as the "McCormick Terminal." In the 1950s, at least part of the pier was used for fish processing.
By the 1960s, the Port of Seattle owned the pier, and had cut holes in the deck for recreational fishing, but the pilings were deteriorating and the pier was settling unevenly.
The city purchased Pier 57 from the Port in 1971,〔(Summary for 1301 Alaskan WAY / Parcel ID 7666202435 ), Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. Accessed online 19 October 2008.〕 after cargo shipping at the piers was relocated years earlier to the container port to the south,〔Paul Dorpat, (Roots In The Water ), ''Seattle Times Pacific Northwest Magazine'', January 21, 2007.

Accessed online 16 October 2008.〕 and renovated it over the next three years. In 1989, the city traded Pier 57 for Piers 62 and 63,〔 (Chapter 3)〕 and it is now privately owned.
