Bella Star's New Home

Elliott Bay Marina has been great, with its gorgeously maintained grounds, fancy bathrooms complete with granite and etched glass (and piped in smooth jazz), views of the Space Needle and top-notch staff. But the time has come for us to move north around West Point so she can join her own kind. We're moving to Shilshole Bay Marina!
This is a view down our fairway. Note the sea monster on the breakwater and the view of the Olympic Mountains. Love it.

Shilshole is one of the largest marinas on the west coast with over 1,400 slips and is chock full of sailboats--and the sailors who own them (a change from the powerboat crowd at Elliott Bay). It's located just a few blocks from the Ballard Locks and downtown Ballard and is next to Golden Gardens Park. The marina recently underwent a major renovation, replacing the docks and widening berths and fairways... and it shows. They may not have bathrooms with smooth jazz, but it's a great location with great people, and we can't wait to get Bella Star moved in.
