Section F: Public Realm <br /> In the public realm, the former asphalt parking lot to the north, where the Seiner Fleet is docked, is <br /> peeled back and replaced with wood surfacing to resurrect the feeling of an old time wharf. At the <br /> southern edge of the wharf,there are brightly colored open-air fish market stalls. Along water's edge at <br /> Fisherman's Harbor and on the visitor docks, there are places for people to sit and watch fisherman <br /> come into port and unload their hauls. The central gathering point and heart of the Waterfront Place <br /> project is Pacific Rim Plaza, a one-acre formal park adjacent to a 120-key hotel, and the jewel of this <br /> district where an Archimedes Screw water feature is always the star of the show. Water pulled from the <br /> bay through the power of wind as a sail pivots to draw water up through a spinning and lighted globe <br /> symbolizing the community's international significance. A plaza features monuments to significant <br /> community partners (like sister cities, tribal nations, etc.) and provides ample room for large <br /> ceremonies and weddings. <br /> Figure 15 13th Street International Gateway <br /> 17I <br /> �' t! <br /> 'ill" <br /> l .:. -. /fr gym na�� <br /> t <br /> --;--"10101 f ( 2 ti '11.4 <br /> (.4 i � F <br /> i 24 <br /> `_ -Tam , <br /> s.r <br /> ray t <br /> At the gateway along 13`h Street, visitors are welcomed by flags of the Port of Everett's international <br /> trading partners. The flags symbolize the importance and the long history of international commerce <br /> with nations such as Korea, Russia, China, Japan, and Canada and the Port of Everett. When special <br /> events occur or an international trade partner visits Port, all the flags will be switched to the flag of that <br /> nation, or, similarly to US flags to welcome home naval home ported ships. Along the waterfront, the <br /> walking path connects to an elevated patio for restaurants along the water, and two gang planks allow <br /> visitors to walk among fishing vessels and a guest moorage dock. A small boat course provides <br /> leisurely entertainment through dingy and radio operated sailboat regattas. Along Seiner Wharf, seiner <br /> boats will be moored with the names of their captains, length of home porting and ship name on <br /> plaques. This district is the early stage, and anticipated to support the establishment of this new mixed <br /> use market here. <br /> 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -56- <br />
