No Diesel - July 12 & 13

Due to fuel system upgrades, there will be no diesel sales at the Fuel Dock on Monday, July 12, and Tuesday, July 13.

Project Update - July 1st

Construction continues at the Marina with several important milestones met in the past couple of weeks. Some of the completed work is clearly visible to those visiting the Marina; some completed work is not so visible, yet equally important.

• New energy-efficient LED light fixtures have been installed in the North Parking Lot.
• The final component of the new bulkhead, permanent ground anchors, were installed and tensioned in areas where the steel sheet pile and concrete pile cap were already in place. (As a reminder, the new bulkhead includes steel sheet pile, concrete pile cap and ground anchors.)
• Dry shed tenant launch pier was partially re-built/attached to new bulkhead. As the launch pier is still in the middle of the construction zone, dry shed tenants will need to contact the Marina Office (206-824-5700) in order to have Marina staff launch/retrieve boats.
• New 36” storm drain line and outfall have been installed. In addition to approximately 180 lineal feet of 36” concrete pipe, two large manholes and a new storm water filter were installed.
• Two new areas of sidewalk were poured in preparation for construction of new security gate houses at M- and N-Docks.
• Additional sections of concrete pile cap were poured. Nearly all steel sheet piles that were previously driven now have a concrete pile cap. (Once the in-water work window opens again on August 1st, the remaining sheet pile will be driven, pile cap poured and anchors installed.)

Beginning next Tuesday, July 6, another important phase of the project begins. A portion of the west dry shed building will be demolished in order to accommodate use of the new travel lift bay. Because this building contains lead-based paint, IMCO General Construction will be extending their construction fencing to further ensure they have a safe perimeter around the demolition area and will be incorporating appropriate demolition practices, personal protective equipment and monitoring specific to working with lead-based paint.

As various phases of work are completed and new ones begun, pedestrian and vehicle access to the dry sheds and Marina Office may change from time to time. Please be aware of signage and temporary construction barriers that have been placed for your safety and for the safety of those performing the work. As always, the project team is appreciative of your patience with construction-related changes and inconveniences.

M-Dock Gangway Access Restrictions on Thursday, June 24

The M-Dock gangway will be out of service for short periods of time tomorrow (Thursday) morning while the sidewalk is being poured at the top of the ramp. Once the concrete is poured/finished, the contractor will put planks over the top for tenant access to the M-Dock ramp. The use of carts, however, will be restricted throughout the day.  M-Dock tenants may contact Doreen Torseth (206-794-5372) to receive contractor assistance with getting gear up/down the ramp on Thursday.

If there are questions, please contact the Marina office (206-824-5700).

Guest Moorage Ramp -- Temporary Relocation

The Guest Moorage gangway (which is used for access to N-Dock, fuel dock and guest moorage areas) has been moved to a new/temporary location due west of the Marina Office. Anyone wishing to access these docks should proceed through the breezeway between the Marina Office and Restrooms and straight down the ramp.


Please be aware that this is a temporary access measure while construction takes place in the vicinity of the fuel tanks and former location of the gangway. The pathway is not paved, so please exercise caution as you proceed through this area.

Marina Office Parking Lot - Temporarily Closed

Beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, June 8, the “horseshoe” parking lot behind the Marina Office will be temporarily closed due to construction of the 36” storm drain line. IMCO General Construction will be working to connect the new 36” storm drain to the existing storm drain system in an area in the middle of the Marina Office parking lot. The anticipated parking lot closure is expected to last two weeks (dependent upon weather).

Pedestrian access will be available to the Marina Office, but vehicles must park in the area just to the east of the dry sheds along Dock Avenue South.

If you have any questions or need special assistance, please contact the Marina Office at 206-824-5700.

Thank you for your continued care, caution and patience during construction.

M-Dock Access CHANGE

Beginning Sunday morning, May 30, M-Dock tenants will use the recently re-installed M-Dock ramp to access the dock.  The floats that have been positioned as a temporary walkway between M- and N-Docks will be removed on Sunday morning and returned to Redondo.

For this first weekend, there will be two Loading/Unloading zones near the IMCO construction gate in the vicinity of the top of the M-Dock ramp.  Tenants may park in these spaces to load/unload gear (15 minutes maximum).  Beginning Tuesday morning, the M-Dock Loading/Unloading zone will move over to a marked area adjacent to the CSR facility and will remain there until the roadway in front of M-Dock is opened again to vehicle traffic.

Tenants should exercise caution when using the loading zones and temporary walkway to the M-Dock ramp as this area is still under construction.

Extended Work Hours for June 1-4

IMCO has received permission for their storm drain installation crew to work 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. next Tuesday, June 1, through Friday, June 4, due to tidal conditions.  The crew will be excavating, laying 36" concrete pipe and backfilling in the area between the Marina Office and the north end of the dry sheds.  Because of the area's proximity to the bulkhead, this underground utility work can only be done at lower tides.

In approving the request, the following conditions were stipulated in the approval for the modification of the Hours of Operations:

1. The construction site must be completely shut down for the day, to include turning off construction lighting, by 8:30 p.m. each evening;

2. The Contractor is required to comply with all noise requirements established by the City's Municipal Code and WAC 173-60; and

3. Construction lighting shall be directed away from the residential areas and limited to lighting needed to safely illuminate the work zone as established by industry standards.

IMCO's other construction crews will still be working their regular 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. hours.

If you have any questions about this work, please don’t hesitate to contact Doreen Torseth or Harbormaster/Project Manager Joe Dusenbury at 206-824-5700.

Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation during construction.
