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.

SLA Annual Meeting

Thursday evening was the annual meeting of the Shilshole Liveaboard Association.  The weather was perfect and we had about 60 people that came out to enjoy a hot dog and meet their neighbors. Dockside Mail, The Fuel Dock, and Seattle Sailing Club graciously donated gift certificates for the free raffle. Thank you!

The SLA is a neighborhood association to foster education, safety and community with the liveaboards at Shilshole Bay Marina.  If you are interested in getting involved, please contact your Dock Captain (whose information is posted inside every gate).
