A new temporary garden area adjacent to the marina plaza is open for the pleasure of our boaters and the general public. This green space, designed and planted by Port staff, will remain until a restaurant or retail business is selected to build there at a future date.
The garden was created using landscape materials like rock, driftwood and granite from other Port properties. The crew used drought tolerant, and native, non-invasive plant materials to reduce the need for excess watering and pruning. The Port has maintained all its properties using 100% organic landscape techniques since 1998.
Some plants in the garden include: Lavender, Rockrose, Rugosa Roses, Spirea, Heather, Potentilla, Germander, Daylilly, Geranium and Mugo Pine.
The garden and plaza may be reserved for an event or group activity by contacting the Marina Office at (206) 787-3006.
Management may establish reasonable traffic and parking regulations, including posting of signs and issuing of permits, as required for orderly handling of motor vehicles on Marina premises. Vehicles that visibly alter or are visually intrusive within the Marina setting will not be permitted. Read the complete Rules here.
2010 parking permits will be available in the marina office beginning on February 2, 2010. Get the details here.

Safety - Security Improvements for Dock Gates
Shortly after the new dock gates were installed, customers noticed that someone could get around the gate by climbing along the exterior of the gate enclosure. Marina management and operations partnered with the Port’s maintenance shop to devise a fix to discourage this type of security breach. In addition, customers discovered that strong wind catching the gates could keep them from closing and locking properly. Again, the Port’s maintenance shop fabricated and tested new door coverings that reduced wind resistance allowing the gates to close properly. These improvements are scheduled for installation over the next several weeks for all gates.
