The Port's Marine Trades Job Fair is set to return to Bellingham's Waterfront on Thursday, May 9 from 10 am to 1 pm at the Fishermen’s Pavilion. This event is free and open to the public.

The Job Fair offers students and community members the opportunity to network with working waterfront employers and explore careers in the marine trades. Attendees will be encouraged to try hands-on activities, including a walk around the docks, touch tanks, a seafood cooking demonstration, and more! 

High school students attending the event are encouraged to research job fair participants ahead of time, and to ask questions about the industry and occupations. Lunch will be provided to students, career/job explorers and staff who register in advance through their school/work source representative.

This event is hosted by the Port of Bellingham in sponsorship with the NW Center of Excellence for Marine Manufacturing and Technology, Working Waterfront Coalition and Bellingham SeaFeast.
