Spring is Here! Finally…

After 8 months, we are finally getting back to 70+°!  Neighbors are coming out of hiding, dock box conversations ensue, and boats are getting cleaned!

Here’s a couple reminders that may help…

  • The Port has a great haz-mat recycling program! Used oil, diesel and hydraulic fluid goes in tank near M2 restroom; used batteries, gasoline, and antifreeze/coolant go to Hazmat Box down near Seaview Boatyard (south end)
  • Garbage goes in the green waste container; all recycling goes in the yellow containers.
  • Please put your donated “junk” (items you no longer need but don’t want to toss) near the dumpster and not at the gate, so more people can see them.
  • Remind your guests and crew to park near the street in General Parking. Also, make sure your license plate tabs are up to date.  The Port can tow all illegally parked vehicles.
  • Please control your dogs (by your side or on a leash at all times) and please clean up after them! (the Seattle Leash Law is in effect on the docks, and Animal Control could be called for problem pets)
  • To avoid smash and grab car break-ins, do not leave items visible in your car.
  • There have been prowlers on the docks and in the waterways so please lock your boat, dinghy, etc and please call the Port’s cell phone, 601-4089, if you see anything/anyone suspicious.

Thank you for helping keep this a nice place to moor and live!

Do you have issues on your dock?

This coming Wednesday, February 1st, is our first meeting of the Dock Captains for 2023. If you have any issues on your dock that you think the Port needs to address, please let your Dock Captain know as soon as possible.  Their contact information is posted at the head of each gate on the inside bulletin board.

Thanks for helping make Shilshole a safe place to  moor and live.

A Big Thank You…

…to Stephanie, Darrell and all the staff at SBM and the Port of Seattle that provided a wonderful evening of food, holiday lights competition and customer appreciation for the tenants of Shilshole. This was a nice change from the 2 years of Covid lockdown and was well attended.

 

Large Locks will be empty-take the kids to see!

Hiram M. Chittenden Locks – Ballard Locks

Our large lock will be closed from 6:00 am, Nov. 8, 2022, for dewatering and maintenance.
The small lock will, however, still be used for navigation purposes for vessels less than 120 feet in length and 26 feet in width throughout this maintenance period. Here’s the order of priority for vessels:
1?? Emergency
2?? Government,
3?? Commercial, then
4?? Recreational
Mariners may experience delays, depending on passage demand.
The large lock will reopen 8:00 p.m. Nov. 23.
Thanks for your patience as we complete our much-needed annual maintenance work.
