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