It’s our first snow/freeze event of the winter and is not expected to be very bad, but things can change quickly overnight….
Check out the forecast on windy.com
- If you have permanent water hookup to the dock, please contact the marina office to get a waiver signed so they don’t disconnect you at an inopportune time
- Please check on your neighbors, especially the elderly or those with limited mobility and if you need help yourself, don’t hesitate to ask for help from either your neighbors or the Port staff at 206-601-4089.
- Be careful with space heaters-don’t use them with extension cords! 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.
- Be patient with the Pumpout services…if the marina pumps are frozen, they can’t use them either.
- Keep your water tanks topped off in case your hose freezes
- 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.
Stay safe!
