Maintenance dredging of the upper and lower channel of the Everett Harbor and Snohomish River’s upper and lower channel is expected to be done by the end of January.
The $1.5 million project, which began November 18, is being done by the US Army Corps of Engineers in partnership with the Port of Everett.
The work involves dredging some 100,000 cubic yards of material from the upper channel and 40,000 cubic yards from the lower one.
Area boaters are advised to be cautious, pass on the marina side of the dredge, mind the rig markings and avoid traveling over the pipeline.

Port of Kalama Begins Dredging Project
By Mark Edward Nero
Maintenance dredging of the Port of Kalama marina began Oct. 1 and is scheduled to run for about two months. The dredging project, which is planned to accommodate fishing season and sports enthusiasts, is scheduled to remove materials that have naturally settled in the marina.
As a result of the dredging, the guest dock at the marina will be closed from Oct. 3 to Oct. 7. However, the first actual dredging is set to begin Oct. 15 at the south end of the marina and guest dock and is expected to run for three weeks.
The project team, according to the port, will work from the south end to the north of the marina, and that is expected to affect some boat owners and guests at varying phases; signs will be posted and letters sent to inform the community of the progress. The entire project is scheduled to be completed by early December 2016.
“Maintenance of the marina basin is a routine activity to enable safe navigation,” Port of Kalama Executive Director Mark Wilson said in a statement. “The dredging activity will require some inconvenience to our boating customers while we complete the work.”
The Port of Kalama, located in Southwest Washington on the Columbia River, is about 30 minutes north of Portland, Ore.
