Debbie Granger awarded 2022 Puget Sound Maritime Achievement Award

The Seattle Propeller Club awarded Working Waterfront Coalition member Debbie Granger the 2022 Puget Sound Maritime Achievement Award for her contributions to the local maritime community. Granger is one of three women to be honored with the award since it began in 1951.

Granger established the Bellingham SeaFeast seafood festival, started the Bellingham Dockside Market that allows fishermen to sell seafood at Squalicum Harbor and has fundraised for a new Fisheries and Aquaculture Center at Bellingham Technical College. She is also working to start a Northwest Maritime Apprenticeship Program to train more county residents for marine trades jobs.
