Saltchuk, the parent company of the Foss Maritime tug and barge company in Seattle, announced Wednesday it is buying a 66-acre property on the Everett waterfront, formerly Kimberly-Clark’s pulp mill and tissue plant, and will relocate about 250 skilled jobs there from Foss’ current location along Seattle’s Ship Canal.
Mark Tabbutt, chairman of Saltchuk. “We see tremendous opportunity and potential for further growth at the Everett site, a deep water port with unrestricted waterways.”
