Neighborhood Watch

Posted on by

This is our community, and as liveaboard residents, it is incumbent upon us to “know our neighbors”.

When you see someone “new” on the dock or waiting to get in gate…whether guests of a neighbor or a new tenant that has just moved in, greet them/introduce yourself.

Some will say the name of the boat or owner they are visiting…go ahead and make friendly small talk, which will show you are aware of their presence.  If they are looking around, ask them “can I help you find someone?”  Some will say they are new to the dock…please welcome them!  Chat ’em up!

Some will get defensive/won’t answer you (they probably tailgated through the gate) or will say they are “just looking at boats”.  Kindly say to them that they need to check in with the office before coming onto the docks-whether doing maintenance or looking at boats for sale.  The marina contact numbers are posted at the gate.

If you have any concerns about someone unknown on the dock, immediately call the marina cell number (206-601-4089) and security will be there within minutes to take over.

Be aware.  Ask questions. Your neighbors will thank you!

Happy New Year-Finally!

Posted on by

This past year has brought many challenges for all of us.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who know someone that has lost the battle with this terrible disease.  For the small businesses that have continued to struggle, may you persevere with the hope that the new year brings you a better tomorrow.

No matter the challenges to come, we are what we make it!  Be a better person: be patient, smile more, help those in need, and support your neighbors.

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.” —William Shakespeare

Your Shilshole Liveaboard Assoc. 
wishes you and your family good health,
prosperity, and peace in 2021!

2021 Parking Permits

Posted on by

All marina tenants have, by now, received their parking permits for the new year, as they were mailed out by the marina office 2 weeks ago.  These must be displayed on the lower drivers side of the windshield.  The Port will give you notice and then tow any vehicle out of compliance.

Also, make sure your Washington State car tabs are up to date and on your vehicle-especially if you are going to be away on your boat! The Port is  towing cars with expired tabs. Review the parking policy here:  ParkingPolicySBM2018

 

WA State Parks Boating Guide Survey

Posted on by

Please see the notice and survey below from the Washington State Parks….

Ahoy, boaters!

Can you spare a few moments?

Did you know that Washington State Parks manages 19 marine state parks and numerous parks with boating access, such as freshwater lakes and marine shorelines?

We’re looking to publish a comprehensive Boating Guide to give you more information about these parks, such as what types of moorage are available, what kinds of amenities can be found, how much it costs for overnight moorage and more.

But before we proceed, we’d like to know if there’s a genuine interest from boaters like you.

Please fill out our survey and let us know if you’d be interested in a Washington State Parks Boating Guide.

The survey takes just 5 minutes. By filling it out, you are eligible to win a free life jacket. Deadline to complete the survey is Friday, Jan. 15.

Thank you!
