From the Marina Director
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope this newsletter finds all our boaters
and their families healthy, happy and looking forward to 2007.
Seems like I’ve said this before, but the year ahead is certainly
expected to be one of “change” both in and around your Marina.
The Port Gardner Wharf redevelopment will be in full swing soon
and the new 12th St Yacht Basin and associated Guest Moorage
and Dry Stack projects will complete in early spring. The new 75ton Travelift, haul-out dock and boatyard should be in operation in
October; about the same time the old “P” and “Q” docks in the
South Marina will be demolished in preparation for new docks that
should be in place by mid-February.
And these first few months of 2007 will be a particularly busy time
for your Marina Maintenance Division as they tackle a number of
repair and maintenance projects from float and restroom repairs to electrical upgrades.
They’ve already replaced all the old concrete filler slabs in the North Marina and rewired “Q”
North; along with repairing various waterline breaks from the recent freeze. Oh, and if you’re
out boating the next few weeks, watch for the dredging that will be going on both in the river
channel outside the marina and over at the Jetty Island Dock.
Throughout the year ahead, we will endeavor to keep you informed of the progress on all
projects and will work hard to minimize negative impacts to the quality services you expect
and deserve. These newsletters, announcements on gates, the Dock Captains, the Marina
Users’ Forum and Web site updates are ways we plan to “get the word out.” As always,
your continuing patience and cooperation as we labor to improve the Marina and the surrounding property are greatly appreciated.
One of the Port of Everett’s exciting improvements for 2007 is a completely re-vamped
Web site, which is expected to debut in late January. Even the current Web site has a
wealth of information about the Port and what’s going on; including both the Operating and
Capital Improvement Plan Budgets for 2007.
The challenges ahead in 2007 will be many, and the satisfaction of successfully working
through them together will make this year most rewarding for all those involved – and I encourage you to get involved in making your marina as good as it can be: by taking good
care of your own boat and dinghy (if you have one); keeping the dockside area around your
boat shipshape and void of trip hazards; by complying with all marina and pollutionprevention policies; by bringing dock maintenance issues to the attention of staff; and by
raising any concerns or suggestions you have regarding the Marina to your Dock Captain, to
the Marina Staff or to the Port Commissioners directly.
I think we’re making progress toward the vision of being “The Boater’s Choice!”
And I see the pace of transformational activity required to realize this vision accelerating
through 2007 and beyond. We’re glad to have you onboard for what is sure to be a fun ride!
Sail Safe!

Floats arriving for new 12th Street Yacht
Basin — Marina to open this spring
Bayside Marine Plans Ground
Breaking Ceremony for January
Bayside Marine has been issued its
building permit for its new 55,000 square
foot dry storage, service department and
retail building. Bayside will be the first
business to relocate to the Craftsmen
District at the 12th Street Marina. An official
ground breaking ceremony well be held at
the end of January, and the planned opening of the dry storage facility will be in late
March. For more information contact
Jeff LaLone at:
Bayside Marine (425) 252-3088
www.baysidemarine.com
Pictured above are some of the new floats that will shape the
Port’s new yacht basin. At this pace, the Port expects the
new marina to be operational in spring 2007.
After a few setbacks, the construction of the
12th Street Yacht Basin is back on track, and on
pace to be open for business in spring 2007.
The first floats for the project arrived in early
November, and the Port has been working
tirelessly to ensure that the in-water work is
completed by Feb. 15. #10445
The Yacht Basin, which is located to the north
of the Port’s existing marina, will have approximately 220 permanent and guest moorage slips
and be the newest, state-of-the-art marina on
the West Coast. This facility will accommodate
yacht-class vessels that range from 40 to 70
feet, and has end-ties for vessels 80 to 143 feet.
The trend in the recreational boating industry
is toward larger vessels, so the expectation is
that this marina will meet the needs of existing
and future slipholders.
The walkway, landscaping, marina support
building and parking lot for the new marina are
already complete.
Half of the new slips are already reserved, and
a portion of the slips are being saved for home
buyers in the adjacent Port Gardner Wharf
project. If you are interested in a slip, contact
the marina office at 425-259-6001.

New Web Site to Launch in January
The Port of Everett, in partnership with Vision Internet, is almost ready to
launch its new Web site. The last redesign of the Web site was in 1997, and
the rebuild was a major undertaking from both a design and content
gathering standpoint. The goals are for the new Web site to be: interactive,
vibrant, transparent, educational and used as an international marketing tool.
Watch for the site to launch in January.
