Dunlap Towing Company History:
Founded in 1925 by Gene Dunlap in LaConner, Washington, the company initially focused on hauling fish, grain, and straw in the Skagit River Delta. Over the decades, Dunlap Towing expanded its services to include log towing, gravel barging, and general towing around Puget Sound. In 1978, Dunlap partnered to form Northland Services, specializing in freight barging to Alaska and Hawaii.
Today, Dunlap Towing is a well-established maritime towing contractor providing services throughout Puget Sound, along the Pacific Coast, to Alaska (including remote Arctic areas), and across the Pacific to Hawaii. They have a long history serving the forest products industry and have a versatile fleet of tugs and barges. The company is family and employee-owned.
The current Snohomish is part of Dunlap Towing's ocean fleet, which also includes tugs like the Sigrid Dunlap, Gretchen Dunlap, James Dunlap, Phyllis Dunlap, and others. Dunlap Towing's main office is located in LaConner, WA, with another significant presence in Everett, WA, near Naval Station Everett.

This photo shoot would be my last while the ship was still in Philadelphia. She left Philadelphia under tow on February 19, 2025, being taken to Mobile, Alabama to be prepared for sinking as an artificial reef off of the Gulf Coast of Florida.
