Free Mobile Pump-outs in Liberty Bay, Port of Poulsbo . . .and more! |
|
|
We’re ready!! RBAW has launched a FREE Mobile Pumpout service for weekends and holidays this summer in the following West Sound locations. We will be utilizing NW Mobile Pumpout to provide this service to all recreational boaters.
- Liberty Bay in Poulsbo
- Port of Poulsbo guest dock
- Blake Island Marine Park (dock, mooring balls and anchorage)
- Illahee State Park anchorage
- Fort Ward State Park anchorage
The Clean Vessel Act (CVA) Grant that was awarded requires RBAW provide a 25% funding match. We are happy to have received financial support from the Port of Poulsbo, City of Poulsbo and WA State Parks Foundation and are grateful for their partnership in bringing these services to recreational boaters in support of clean water for all. We continue to work with the City of Bainbridge Island and are hopeful that service will be available in Eagle Harbor soon.
Want to schedule a FREE Mobile Pumpout . . .or see where else mobile or fixed pumpouts are offered? Click the buttons below . . .or waive down the NW Mobile Pumpuout vessel as it’s passing through!! Remember that Puget Sound is a no discharge zone, and boaters must properly dispose of their sewage. |

RBAW is gearing up for summer 2024, with just a few weeks left until the seaplane advisory buoys will be installed for Memorial Day through Labor Day. Hanging out on Lake Union is what summer is all about in Seattle, but as more users flock to the lake, we all need to share this resource. If you see the seaplane advisory buoys flash yellow, a seaplane is getting ready to take off or land - please move 200 ft east or west and give them a little space - it's the nice thing to do!
Our Campaign Director, Allison Stribling, has been hard at work reaching out to Lake Union businesses to educate employees and also install #MindTheZone signage. Please help us keep everyone safe on Lake Union this summer and reach out to MindTheZone@RBAW.org if you would like signage for your business, marina, yacht club, paddle group, etc. Or, head to the #MindtheZone website for more information! |
