…to the Shilshole Bay Marina staff for putting on their annual Customer Appreciation Holiday Party last evening. It was a great turnout and fun to see and visit with the neighbors and staff.  The marina looks terrific with all the decorated boats, and The Christmas Ships are always a nice holiday tradition!
