Good evening, neighbors and thank you to those that checked in. Here is a brief summary of tonight’s Port “Teams” call…

First…there were only 61 attendees out of all of Shilshole (1400 slips), Harbor Island (77 slips), Fishermen’s Terminal (700 slips) and Salmon Bay Marina (168 slips). If you are not getting the emails from the marina office, maybe they don’t have your current info. Please update your contact info with them.

2nd…the Sealions have caused severe damage to the docks and equipment. The Port is working with the appropriate agencies to mitigate their effect. It has been determined the sealions are color blind so yellow caution tape doesn’t work. Use blue or green tape, cones etc…it seems to deter them. They apparently don’t like a stream of water spray, either. If you hear of explosives being used (as some fishermen have been observed doing), contact the office immediately.

3- the tribal dock (and yellow crane/hoist) at the south end near Seaview has piling structural issues which is why it has limited access and will be restricted for a long time

4-one more blue light camera has been ordered to be installed by the dry storage at the north end. The cameras have proven to be a deterrent and reported incidents are down. As always, report anyone/anything suspicious and call 911 for any safety concerns.

5-The management requests that if you see any activity by the marina staff or security staff that is of concern, please report it to the marina manager, Karlina Smith

6-the laundry facilities have notices posted as to how to contact the administrator of the laundry (not the Port). Please report any issues immediately. The company has parts on backorder, etc so they will be here as soon as possible.

7-the Port is working with the City of Seattle and Seattle Police to facilitate the tagging and removal of the transient vehicles on Seaview. The City has a FinditFixit app to report any issues or concerns.

Thanks all for being great neighbors and watching out for each other…
