The Port of Seattle and Shilshole Marina staff invite Shilshole tenants to a holiday open house and tenant appreciation night!

Don’t forget to…

• Secure your halyards away from your mast to prevent slapping in the wind.
• Remove flags
• Put out extra dock lines and fenders.
• Secure tarps, sail covers and roller furling.
• Securely stow: gear on your boat, steps, items behind your dock box, and bail your dinghy!
• Make sure your power cord has slack in it and that it is not hanging in the water!
• Water lines may freeze or be shut off…take appropriate action (top off tanks, disconnect hoses, etc.)
• Contact the Marina staff right away if you see anything of concern (ie: loose sails, frayed dock lines, continuous bilge pump running and any diesel/oil spills).

Thanks for being a good neighbor…
