According to Paul Dorpat, Seattle Now and Then I, 1984: The Oregon Improvement Company filled the waterfront between its coal docks off King Street and Yesler's wharf with two large pier sheds it designated as simply A and B. The area between these sheds and the business district along First Avenue S. was, neither entirely filled nor covered. Thus up until the mid-90s, it was still possible for native dugouts to make their way between the Oregon piers and up under the overhead quay to their Ballast island.
