The Port is walking the docks and identifying unauthorized items on the docks and finger piers. You will get an email notice from them if you are not in compliance. Please be proactive and clean up your area beforehand. Thank you for helping keep this a nice place to moor and live!

• The Port has a great haz-mat recycling program! Used oil, diesel and hydraulic fluid goes in tank near restroom; used batteries, gasoline, and antifreeze/coolant go to Hazmat Box down near Seaview Boatyard (south)
• Garbage goes in the green compactor container; all recycling goes in the other containers.
• Please put your donated stuff (items you no longer need but don’t want to toss) near the dumpster and not at the gate (and not in the laundry room), so more people can see them.

Today marks the shortest day of the year, with lots of ancient traditions. The sun will rise around 7:55 a.m. and set around 4:20 p.m. on Dec. 21, giving Seattleites just a precious 8 hours, 25 minutes and 25 seconds of daylight to enjoy on winter solstice.

But…it also means every day is now getting longer and we are on our way to summer!

We had a blast last night making new friends, singing Christmas songs, and spreading holiday cheer throughout the marina with our dinghy parade. Looking forward to making it bigger and better next year!

This Sunday, Dec. 14th. Hope to see you out there!

The weather is looking much better for a Christmas Dinghy Parade this Sunday evening! Hope you’ll join us at 5pm on the guest dock!

Down to the minute details will be described on the Facebook Tenants page, this blog and communicated real time on VHF 71.
