The City
The guide was updated:
Blaine was first settled in the mid-nineteenth century by pioneers who established the town as a seaport for logging and fishing industries. The world's largest salmon cannery, which as been converted to a waterfront destination, is located here.
Many saw mills were operated in Blaine, and much of the lumber manufactured in the area was transported to San Francisco to rebuild after the 1906 fire. Today Blaine's two largest marina are still home to hundreds of sailboats and yachts. Local fisherman still fish the waters for fresh crab, salmon, and oysters. Being a coastal location, nature lovers have always appreciated Blaine.
