The Seattle Seawall project was undertaken between 1916 and 1935. In 1934, the seawall was under construction in the immediate vicinity of Pier 14.
In 1935, the Ainsworth and Dunn Pier 14 accommodated ships of the Arrow Line (United States), William Leslie Comyn's Cascade Line (United States), A.F. Klaveness and Company Line (Norway) and Hamburg-American Line (Germany).
Beginning on 05/01/1944, the US military renumbered the piers of Seattle's waterfront to simplify deliveries to and from them. What was Pier 14 became Pier 70, thereafter.
