Do you have issues on your dock?

Posted on by

This coming Wednesday, February 1st, is our first meeting of the Dock Captains for 2023. If you have any issues on your dock that you think the Port needs to address, please let your Dock Captain know as soon as possible.  Their contact information is posted at the head of each gate on the inside bulletin board.

Thanks for helping make Shilshole a safe place to  moor and live.

Hiram M. Chittenden Locks – Ballard Locks

Our large lock will be closed from 6:00 am, Nov. 8, 2022, for dewatering and maintenance.
The small lock will, however, still be used for navigation purposes for vessels less than 120 feet in length and 26 feet in width throughout this maintenance period. Here’s the order of priority for vessels:
1?? Emergency
2?? Government,
3?? Commercial, then
4?? Recreational
Mariners may experience delays, depending on passage demand.
The large lock will reopen 8:00 p.m. Nov. 23.
Thanks for your patience as we complete our much-needed annual maintenance work.
