Project Background
City staff are working on plans to bring properties at Meydenbauer Bay Park and Marina into compliance with grant requirements. The two projects will provide 14 transient moorage (aka visitor tie-up) slips at the marina and public access to two additional waterfront properties.
- The city purchased the Bellevue Yacht Basin (commonly referred to as Pier 3) in 1993, and the Meydenbauer Bay Marina (Piers 1 and 2) in 1998. The state, through its Boating Facility Program, provided $1 million in grants for these acquisitions, which require the city to provide at least 14 transient moorage slips to the public. The city does not currently offer visitor tie-up moorage.
- In 2003 the city purchased two waterfront properties, known as Kim and Henrich. The state provided $1.48 million in grants for these acquisitions. The homes must be removed, and the property made available for public access.

Project Status:
At the neighborhood meeting on February 16, 2012 staff and neighbors reviewed requirements to provide transient moorage and removal of the two houses, timelines and design options, costs and management plan development.
Staff will request City Council approval for an engineering contract for transient moorage design and permitting in March. We are researching successful management strategies for implementing visitor moorage.
- 2012 Summer/Fall - two houses removed.
- 2013 Winter - neighborhood meeting regarding transient moorage management.
- 2013 or 2014 - transient moorage renovation (dependent upon permits and funding).
We would appreciate your input.
Please help make the introduction of transient moorage a success -
