This morning a @30 foot power boat caught fire at slip P71. It started about 11:30 and was contained by the fire dept by 11:50. No other boats were involved other than slight damage to the vinyl dodger of the boat next door. No one was on board and when the first explosion occurred, a nearby liveaboard called 911.
Reminder, in an emergency in the marina, be sure to turn your VHF on to CH 71 to hear any updates.


A big thank you to the Staff at Shilshole for hosting their Tenant Appreciation party this evening! It was a great turnout with an opportunity for the staff and moorage customers to mingle in a casual setting and to meet our new Marina Manger, Jo Woods.


We have all been affected these past several months by the bike trail construction (aka Missing Link, aka Ballard Multimodal) between the Locks and 24th st. It should be done in the late spring according to SDOT.
Then, in mid-summer, SDOT will begin construction of the NW Market St Paving Project which encompasses paving, sidewalk repair, curb ramp upgrades, water main replacements and stormwater drainage improvements.

From 2020 to 2021, Seattle Public Utilities and King County Wastewater Treatment Division are building an underground storage tunnel to significantly reduce the amount of polluted stormwater (from rain) and sewage that flows into the Lake Washington Ship Canal, Salmon Bay and Lake Union from our sewer system. This will be a 2.7-mile, 18-ft diameter tunnel that will extend from Ballard to Wallingford.

Shop beautifully crafted items from over 30 local artists and craftspeople including handmade cards, vintage clothing, vegan soaps, gifts for the cyclist in your life, truffles & sweets, jewelry, art, gifts for your furry friends, pop culture festive gifts and so much more.
Admission to event is free, with a suggested donation of a toy or non-perishable food for their Christmas Baskets for the Needy program.

Last Saturday was the 9th annual Race Your House!…a fun, low key “race” around the buoys. This year, the weather was perfect with an avg of 10 knots of wind and temps in mid 50s. The course went from buoys off of Shilshole to Bainbridge Is. and back…11.2 miles and everyone was home in under 4 hours. Congratulations to not just the winners of each class but to all who participated! Put it on your schedule for next Fall!
