Spring is here

The water level has already come up a couple of feet so it's important that bow, stern and power lines are checked. Tight lines cause boats to chafe on the dock or, in a worst case, pull loose from their moorings.

We ask that you use our hazardous waste materials facility by the restrooms at E dock. There are tanks for used oil, antifreeze and bilge water. Stimson Marina is a certified 5-star Envirostars/Clean Marina business, the first covered, fresh-water facility to be so honored in the state. We are committed to keeping the waters of Salmon Bay and of Puget Sound clean, and ask your help to make it a reality.

Seattle has an ordinance mandating the separation of recyclables and garbage.  You must put all paper, glass, tin and aluminum in the marked recycling bins. There will be fines for dumpsters that  have recyclables in them.. We are doing our best to have adequate containers at the dock ends to separately accommodate garbage and recycling, and we ask that you do your best to use the correct containers. There is a compost -- food waste, paper cups, pizza boxes -- container next to the E dock dumpster and recycle bins.  .
