I’ve noticed this sign out of the corner of my eye as I drive past. Finally stopped to see the details. It would be nice if this information was easy to find on https://www.seattle.gov/transportation/ or https://wsdot.wa.gov/
It appears that the primary arterial to reach Shilshole is scheduled to be closed much of the day on Friday February 16th.
Reminder…Seaview Ave at the Railroad Bridge will be closed, 8-5 this Friday, the 16th. It appears they are doing track work. Use Golden Gardens Dr. or take a left just past the bike trail/stoplight.
Good evening, neighbors and thank you to those that checked in. Here is a brief summary of tonight’s Port “Teams” call…
First…there were only 61 attendees out of all of Shilshole (1400 slips), Harbor Island (77 slips), Fishermen’s Terminal (700 slips) and Salmon Bay Marina (168 slips). If you are not getting the emails from the marina office, maybe they don’t have your current info. Please update your contact info with them.
2nd…the Sealions have caused severe damage to the docks and equipment. The Port is working with the appropriate agencies to mitigate their effect. It has been determined the sealions are color blind so yellow caution tape doesn’t work. Use blue or green tape, cones etc…it seems to deter them. They apparently don’t like a stream of water spray, either. If you hear of explosives being used (as some fishermen have been observed doing), contact the office immediately.
3- the tribal dock (and yellow crane/hoist) at the south end near Seaview has piling structural issues which is why it has limited access and will be restricted for a long time
4-one more blue light camera has been ordered to be installed by the dry storage at the north end. The cameras have proven to be a deterrent and reported incidents are down. As always, report anyone/anything suspicious and call 911 for any safety concerns.
5-The management requests that if you see any activity by the marina staff or security staff that is of concern, please report it to the marina manager, Karlina Smith
6-the laundry facilities have notices posted as to how to contact the administrator of the laundry (not the Port). Please report any issues immediately. The company has parts on backorder, etc so they will be here as soon as possible.
7-the Port is working with the City of Seattle and Seattle Police to facilitate the tagging and removal of the transient vehicles on Seaview. The City has a FinditFixit app to report any issues or concerns.
Thanks all for being great neighbors and watching out for each other…
This coming Wednesday. Please check your email from the Port on 1-11-24 for the call link.

Stay safe!
Shilshole Marina has had a handbook for it’s tenants for over 20 years and it was supposed to be handed out to every new tenant by the office. Unfortunately, that was hit or miss, according to our neighbors.
They finally put it online and it now incorporates all marina policies-parking, waste disposal, Required Best Management Practices, and subleasing. Please take the time to read it and be familiar the marina procedures-it may answer many of your questions. It can always be found under the “More Info” tab above.

The Shilshole Liveaboard Assoc. (SLA) is a neighborhood association, that was formed to serve as a conduit for sharing experience, education, and information between people living aboard their recreational boats at Shilshole and their larger community.
The SLA has a close working relationship with the Marina/Port of Seattle; manages the Shilshole Blog, the Dock Captain Program, Shilshole Prepares, and maintains a permanent seat on the Ballard District Council.
The SLA also acts as the representative of our liveaboard community on issues that are a concern to the membership like: marina security, the Liveaboard Agreement with the Port, and community participation. In order to accomplish this, we need to hear from you! Together we can protect our lifestyle and the use of our recreational boats.
Welcome to the new Liveaboard Association Website, same as the old Website.
The website has moved from a dedicated server to a hosted service to make long term management easier as well as gain features such as better mobile device access.
All of the content from the old site has been moved to the new site. It may be in different locations, and there are some broken links that will hopefully be fixed as they are found. If you find a problem, please leave a comment and it will be addressed.
One of the differences I came across is my old RSS feed of http://www.shilsholecommunity.org/feed/ has not seemed to be retrieving updates. I needed to change my reader to use a new feed over a secure connection https://shilsholecommunity.org/feed/
Let me know what you think.
