Shilshole Handbook

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.

Who we are…

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 2024!

New Years Eve Lights

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.

Happy New Year!

Your Shilshole Liveaboard Assoc. wishes you and your family good health and happiness in 2024, with completed boat projects and more time for cruising!

Don’t forget…

The Seattle Boat Show will be held from Feb. 2nd -10th. Check out their website for schedule and seminars.

2024 Parking Passes are available for pick up in the office and need to be placed on the lower driver’s side windshield. Also, make sure your car tabs are current, especially if you leave your car while cruising or travelling.

And check back to this Shilshole Blog for news and events affecting those of us here at Shilshole.

Moorage Rate Increase Jan 2024

The Port of Seattle recently completed its annual review of moorage rates and current market conditions in the area. After this review, rates were adjusted accordingly, and an email was sent to the tenants by the Port of Seattle.

Effective January 1, 2024, monthly moorage rates (and most other fees) here at Shilshole Bay Marina will increase by 10-12%!  We encourage you to thoroughly read the new Tariff #6, as this dictates all fees and regulations here at Shilshole.
