Snow shovels

Posted on by

It is unfathomable why the port is no longer making snow shovels available to tenants to clear their finger piers. This is the mindset of the port’s legal Beagels. Ive used a shovel since I was nine years old. Can anyone tell me what’s dangerous about a shovel? This is a continuation of a long trend of reduced service and raised rents. About time we sent the rest of the commissioners packing along with Steinbrueck.

How does one join the liveaboard association?

Admin note:  as a Port of Seattle authorized liveaboard at Shilshole you are, by default, a member of the Shilshole Liveaboard Assoc.  We have a board comprised of 15 members that works with the Port regarding policy and security issues that affects not just us liveaboards but the tenants in general.  Contact us

Monday another vehicle in the Shilshole parking lot got burglarized and had it`s catalytic converter stolen. We are under siege. The port has options available to combat this scourge but has not taken them.
Nor will they until we the tenants make it uncomfortable for the commissioners and the staff. One option is to salt the parking lot with the cars most targeted by catalytic converter thieves. Equip those cars with silent alarms connected to receivers in the Ports security vehicles.
The other option is to file claims against the Ports insurance carrier. The price we pay for moorage implicitly includes security for our personal property. Make the price of ignoring security for our vehicles expensive enough for the port and they will take steps to control they’re cost.
I will welcome other suggestions to this forum. Thanks. Dan Kruzich.
