Rules and Regs at Shilshole

Posted on by

We have many new tenants here at Shilshole and thus, many questions regarding waste oil disposal, batteries, subleasing, parking, etc.  Answers to these questions can always be found on the “More Info…” tab at the top of this page.  Please take the time to read each of the Port of Seattle documents as they will answer many of your questions.  Thanks.

Golden Gardens closing at 10 pm

Posted on by

Seattle Parks has (finally) moved the closing time at Golden Gardens from 11:30 up to 10pm.

This time change is intended to help mitigate an increase in public safety issues and illegal activity at the park, including acts of violence, excessive noise violations, illegal fires, illegal parking, unpermitted events, and blocked access for emergency vehicles.

plunder

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.
