Slip into Spring at Shilshole Bay Marina

Slips assigned by Spring 2008

Shilshole Bay Marina, one of the region's largest recreational-boating marinas, is nearing completion on a major renovation. The enhanced facility is already 85% full - but slips in sizes ranging from 40 to 50 feet are still available, and boaters who apply today will receive their slip assignment by early spring 2008.

The $80 million project replaced 22 docks and piers, expanded dry moorage and created an enhanced small boat and sailing center at the north end of the marina. Over 4,000 feet of lineal moorage has been added. In addition, the project also replaces the administration building and provides space for private development of a new Anthony's restaurant, plus a new public plaza with a children's play fountain and landscaping.

At Shilshole, all slips offer generous fairways, Internet, phone, and cable service and on-site boatyard and repair and fueling station. Sailing enthusiasts can enjoy year-round racing at the new North End Small Boat and Sailing Center. The three- and five-ton hoists and new floats will make getting underway a breeze.

It's all part of the experience when you make Shilshole your boating home. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2008. The marina remains open during construction.

Shilshole is assigning slips from the waitlist now. Boaters who sign up in December will receive 50% off the waitlist fee in honor of the Seattle Boat Show! For more information call 206-728-3006 or visit www.portseattle.org.
