During the 1960s, Pier 46 served the Phoenix Line, the K Line and one other firm. In 2007, the K Lines operated out of Terminal 46 on Seattle's harbor front. It accommodated a church-supported homeless encampment in the early 2000s. In 2005, Hanjin Lines, a South Korean container shipping business, made a ten-year contract with the Port of Seattle for sole access to Pier 46. Many in the city have eyed Pier 46's extensive acreage for other uses, for erecting low-income housing, expensive condominiums or a new sports arena.

Pier 46 became conjoined with the neighboring Pier 44, during modernization efforts of the 1960s. Following the merger of Piers 44 and 46, creating an 88-acre, land-filled dock, the latter became the Port of Seattle's southernmost facility on the Elliott Bay Waterfront.
