We Want to Hear from You
It goes without saying that 2020 was an exceptional year for the Port of Seattle and for you. Our team at Shilshole Bay Marina has been challenged in so many ways including office closure, sanitation requirements, and remote work.
Our highest priority has been to serve you by continuing operations, providing excellent customer service, and finishing construction of the new facilities and parking lot improvements.
We want to hear your feedback on how we’ve served your needs since March 2020. Please take this three-minute survey and tell us what you think.
Thank you, Recreational Boating Team
The Port is expanding the dry storage lot on the north end of the marina out to the street, replacing the parking area that is currently striped there. The new entrance will face south with an RF Fob opener. No other details available at this time.
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
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

It’s Christmastime-a time for peace, family, and good feelings. But, unfortunately, life can get in the way-we’ve spent 9 months with the CoVid and now we have this reminder…
This just happened today (Tues Dec 22nd) Train carrying crude oil derails, catches fire in Whatcom County (mynorthwest.com)
We have tracks right next to the marina with 50+ trains per day and a big curve at Golden Gardens. Very long oil and coal trains transit our neighborhood. These wont go away as this is a major corridor of commerce, but…
Area you prepared? Can you leave your slip on a moments notice? Do your children know the procedure? We’ve talked about this for years on this Blog with Shilshole Prepares and it is why we do our prep, our V-Man communication, and have regular discussion about this.
Put it on your list to discuss with your family in the new year.
In the interest of security and reducing the number of unwanted prowlers, the marina parking lot will be closed at all entrances, except those just south and north of the Admin building, between 9pm and 5am. This is what was done last winter and during the busy park season this summer. The Port’s email is as follows…
Beginning Friday, December 4th, Shilshole staff will be closing marina driveway entrances to limit the number of access points for vehicles arriving or departing the marina. Entrances will close at around 9:00 PM and will reopen at 5:00 AM. Initially, the two most southern and the two most northern entrances will be closed overnight.
Following the demolition of the old M-4 Restroom building and the asphalt repaving in that area, all driveway entrances will close except for the two that are adjacent to the Marina Office Building.
We encourage you to reach out with questions or concerns. Please continue to practice social distancing during this time.

On our Monday night VHF checkin (Mondays, 8pm ch 71), a main topic of conversation was the outboard thefts on J/K docks. According to Marina security, there is a:
White 24 foot sailboat with green moss on the top; with a White male, about 5′ 6″-5’8”, dark hair that has been observed in the area, usually after 8pm. He sometimes moors on the pumpout or fuel docks (@3-5 am) but quickly leaves when someone approaches. He/they also use a dark grey skiff with a black motor
He has had a prior run in with the port Police and is quick to leave the area when security gets close. He has a very faint WN reg number, so it’s been difficult to catch him. Please…
1) Lock your outboard/cover it up (out of site out of mind)
2) If you see this boat/person cruising the fairways, please call the port immediately at 206-601-4089
3) Some boats on J/K have installed motion sensors-be vigilant
Thanks. Its neighbors looking out for neighbors…
