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 this 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.

Question:
I am not moored at shilshole but another marina on lake union. We have been live aboard at our marina for over 2 years. I was wondering if there is some legal requirement for the marina to have basic facilities, ie toilets and shower facilities, on site to be able to rent liveaboard slips? Asking because our marina has neither, and has been steadily charging more each year for our live aboard fee without doing any improvements to the marina that would benefit the live aboard renters.
Thanks for any info you can give,
Brittney

Our understanding is that there is no legal requirement to provide facilities for people who live aboard their recreational vessels.
