Thursday is the Great Washington ShakeOut: a statewide opportunity to practice how to be safe during big earthquakes. This affects us how? …
If you’re at work, all of these suggestions could be relevant. If you are on your boat, then the tsunami possibilities are relevant. Most of us on a boat have a plan in case of a natural/man-made disaster but it is always good to review your plan and make corrections. Our Shilshole Prepares site also addresses many of these potential issues.
Last Tuesday was the quarterly meeting where the Shilshole Marina and Port of Seattle staff share with the Dock Captains and moorage tenants the latest security and construction updates. Here are some notes…
Here’s a chance to put away the flower pots, roll up the floor mats and take your “house” for a spin. It’s a fun “race” around the buoys open to all liveaboard sailboats. There is no entry fee, and you don’t have to have any racing experience. There’s a party the night before to explain the rules and meet your neighbors.

Sunday, E dock had an open-mic night followed by a movie at sunset! Several boaters on the dock provided singing, guitar, keyboard and harmonica talent for our neighbors’ enjoyment. At 8pm, everyone went home, grabbed a bite to eat, warm clothes and a chair and at sunset we rear-projected the movie Captain Ron on a screen on the back of a powerboat. Popcorn was served and about 20 people attended..some by dinghy. Great fun had by all!
It was another beautiful evening for the Port of Seattle Police/Shilshole Marina’s annual BBQ. Several hundred marina tenants enjoyed burgers, hot dogs, salads and refreshments with a live band to entertain.
This was the 16th year of this opportunity to meet and mingle with our Port Police and Marina staff to continue building a better community here at Shilshole. A big thank you to them for all they did!

With the 4th of July celebrations coming up, there are always those doorknobs that think it’s a good idea to shoot off old expired flares.

If you see someone doing this, PLEASE call the marina staff immediately at 206-601-4089 to report it.
