The change is pretty dramatic.
The Dalles Marina, after 10 days of major clean-up, is looking a whole lot better on its western front.
Under the direction of Robert Mester with Northwest Maritime Consultants, divers removed tons of debris and wreckage at The Dalles Marina left from a major fire on July 4 fire that destroyed 8 houseboats and sank 2 vessels.
The Port is footing the initial bill to get Associated Underwater Services staged at the site at a cost of about $100,000.
And daily costs to operate can run about $14,000.
Several Insurance companies are still wrangling over payouts on the fire, and the Port decided to get the process of clean up moving before winter set in.
