Our waterfront location was originally an airplane hangar built in 1932 and was the birthplace of many float plane operators that eventually merged to become Alaska Airlines. Thank you for helping us keep the historic tradition alive as we celebrate our 20th Anniversary Year as the Hangar on the Wharf!
