Sheri, a liveaboard on M dock, and a board member of the Shilshole Liveaboard Assoc. has been planning, and just got approval for, a Little Library book exchange here at Shilshole.  These are little kiosks that you may have seen in our local neighborhoods where you can take a book or donate one of yours (a much better solution than just throwing them into the laundry room!)

Please check out her GoFund me page to help raise the funds for this great project for our marina families.

If you own a boat, want a boat, if you need something for your boat or  just have questions….The boat show is for you!  Take the time to go-you might find what you are looking for.

There are a wide variety of seminars that cover everything from fishing & crabbing to engine maintenance to cruising Desolation Sound….

and…stop by the marina office, they have one complimentary ticket per slip, while supplies last.

• Please check on your neighbors, especially the elderly or those with limited mobility and if you need it, don’t be afraid to ask for help-either from your neighbors or the Port staff 206-601-4089
• Be careful with space heaters-don’t use them with extension cords and turn off your water heater breaker at night so you can have more amps and won’t blow your main breaker
• Be careful walking the docks-stay in the middle
• Snow shovels are available to check out at the office
• Be patient with the Pumpout services…if the marina pumps are frozen, they can’t use them either
• Keep your water tank topped off when your hose defrosts
• Don’t drive if you don’t have to, but top off your car gas tank in case you get stuck out driving, and have water, snacks, blankets and boots in the car
• When it warms up and starts to melt, make sure your scuppers are clear to drain

Here is Seattle’s plowing priority map…

Here is the Port of Seattle’s 2020 Tariff #6 that lists the current rules and regulations at Shilshole.  It can also be found under the “More Info” tab at the top of this page.  Please read through it to be familiar with the rules regarding sublease, condition of your boat, control of pets, etc..
