1962 Hat Island Sales Brochure

From the 1962 Washington Travel Book..."A secluded residential-recreational area afforded complete privacy, yet with ready access to metropolitan centers―that's Hat Island, two miles offshore from Everett and now in the process of development by the Hat Island Development Co. of Seattle."

Early Marina Photos

The black and white picture of the marina labeled 1972 was scanned from the aerial photo in the Community Development Study 1972-1972. It shows the original configuration of the marina. In 1978 the marina was dredged and the dock system expanded to its present configuration. Notice the ferry bridge and ramp at the southern end where the ferry ACORN docked. Out side the marina on the north side was the barge piling for barges to tie up to unload building materials

Electric Cable Project

In 1974, as a direct result of the 1971-1972 Community Development Study, an underwater electric cable was laid to Hat Island from Mission Beach. The Holiday was the vehicle for PUD executives and engineers and Hat Island board to watch the project being done. This project was a very exciting for both the PUD and Hat Islanders. This was the first underwater cable for the PUD and Hat Island had been running on generators that were less than reliable. Our Elsie M was also involved in the project. It was raining and a dark and dreary day much lightened by the exciting project and unrealistic successes. Basically there were no problems from one side to the other. The cable was energized on December 12, 1974
