WA State Boater Registration Renewal

All yearly registration Decals for boats in Washington State expire June 30th. Per the WA St. Reg. Requirements, all boats with a motor (including tenders) on Federal Waters (Puget Sound, Lake Union and Lake Washington) are required to register and, if not a Federal Documented vessel, must display registration numbers.  It’s easy to do online and the decals are ready the next day at the Ballard Licensing Office or they can be mailed to you.  Tabs can be renewed up to 6 months before expiration so don’t wait for the last minute rush!

Fisheries Supply Spring Swap Meet

Sat, April 6th, 5am to 1pm

What to Expect:

A maritime flea market, full of boating goods, old parts, and new parts, outboards, buoys, dock line, coolers, heaters, chain, clothing, and so much more. Die-hard bargain boaters have been known to arrive the night before to stake out a good parking spot, although sellers are not allowed to use the lower tier of the upper parking lot (closest to the store entrance). In addition to the hundreds of boaters buying, selling and trading boating equipment, Fisheries will be offering great pricing on clearance, discontinued, overstock, scratch and dent products, and last seasons clothing.

Boat and Dock Security

It can’t be stressed enough,…PLEASE don’t let anyone through the gate that you don’t recognize.  Ask them:  Who they are visiting? What boat? If they belong here they will appreciate your observation.  If they don’t, they will challenge you and make a fuss.  So what!  Politely direct them to the Marina Office for access.  This is your home and neighborhood and you have a duty to help keep it safe.

If you See Something, Say Something!

Call the Marina cell at 206-601-4089, 24/7 for any concerns.  Always call 911 for an emergency.
