Boat moorage

Washington State Parks has the largest state-managed mooring system in the nation.

Many state parks on Puget Sound have moorage docks, buoys or linear moorage facilities, available for day-use and overnight visits.

Fees, rules and safety

Fees are charged year round for mooring at docks, floats, and buoys from 1 p.m. to 8 a.m.

Find current moorage fees and information about the Annual Moorage Permit.

Be prepared, review park rules and regulations before your go.  Most boaters need a Boater Education Card to operate a vessel in Washington.  Make sure you and your passengers stay safe on the water, review water safety best practices!

Help keep our waters clean and safe, visit PumpoutWashington.org to find public pumpout and dump station locations.
