Part of the Northwest Coast is often referred to as the “Graveyard of the Pacific.” That's because it's home to thousands of shipwrecks. NWPB's Anna King talks with host Phineas Pope about our new short documentary, "Wrecked: Sinking Ships & Colliding Cultures on the Northwest Coast."

Cody Pierson began working for J.E. McAmis as an operator in 2019, and quickly showed his abilities and earned our trust. In only two years of being hired, Cody worked his way up to managing two different rock quarries. Earlier this year, Cody was promoted to the role of Superintendent to help close out J.E. McAmis' largest project to date, the MCR South Jetty.

While we all know what value Cody brings to our team, it was nice for me to hear yesterday, directly from the Portland District, US Army Corps of Engineers, that Cody has also earned the USACE's trust. The USACE rep I spoke to recognized what a safe, quality-driven, and professional job Cody did of wrapping the project up this year. Thank you to Cody and the entire team on the MCR South Jetty for an outstanding job done!
