Waiting List Rules and Policies - Please read before signing.

The Port maintains waiting lists for moorage and storage areas that are fully occupied and in demand. Waiting lists are classified according to length, open, covered, wet moorage or storage (i.e., dry, small vessel, trailer, or recreational vehicle). The waiting lists for each size and category are arranged in chronological order by the date the Port receives appropriate application and deposit for a specified wait list.

- Name of applicant must be the same on boat ownership papers and insurance documentation. If boat is owned by an LLC or partnership, supplemental Documentation will be required upon signup. The applicant must have at least 25% interest in an Ownership entity. Certain privileges related to the moorage will be limited to the applicant only as the tenant of record.

- Tenants and non-tenants requesting moorage, storage, or a transfer can be placed on a waiting list:

- Applicant must complete the appropriate application for moorage or storage form, which is available on the Port Website, and pay the current Commission approved waiting list fees and/or deposits. The waiting list deposit will be applied to the tenant’s security deposit upon acceptance and assignment of moorage or storage. The security deposit may be greater or less than the waiting list deposit.

- Applicants are responsible for keeping the Port informed of current address and contact information such as phone number and e-mail address. Changes shall be submitted to the Port in writing.

- Only the surviving spouse of a deceased person whose name is on a waiting list may retain the position on the waiting list. If a surviving spouse does not wish to remain on the waiting list, a full refund of the deposit will be processed upon receiving written request.

-  There is an annual renewal fee of $25.00 to remain on the waiting list. If  there is no response to the Port’s reminder, my name will be dropped from the waiting list and deposit will be forfeited. 

- An individual may be on more than one waiting list but must pay the appropriate fees and/or deposits for each waiting list. When an individual accepts a moorage or storage assignment and wishes to remain on the waiting list for another category, the tenant may do so without forfeiting their deposit.

- A person on a waiting list who requests to be removed without initiating tenancy at the Port of Edmonds will forfeit their waiting list deposit.

- A person who has initiated tenancy from a waiting list assignment must be an active tenant for at least one year before being eligible to receive a refund of the security deposit. The security deposit refund will be credited to the tenant’s account upon termination. If a credit balance remains, the Port will issue a refund check to the tenant.

- If an individual elects to be removed from any waiting list or fails to pay the annual waiting list fee, they forfeit all waiting list deposits.

-A vacancy is filled by taking the top name from the waiting list.

- If an individual on a waiting list declines the offered space, the space is offered to the next individual on the same waiting list until the space is filled. If the waiting list is exhausted without an acceptance, Port staff may offer the space to the first name on another waiting list or advertise availability.

- An individual who declines an offered space once will remain in their position at the top of the waiting list but will not be eligible for another offer for six (6) months. The Port will continue down the waiting list to assign the vacant space in a timely manner. After a second decline, the individual is moved to the bottom of the waiting list and the chronological date is changed to the date of second decline. 

- Slips of the same length category may have different widths. If an individual on a waiting list is offered a slip that will not accommodate the beam of their boat, the offer does not qualify as a decline of moorage.

- In the case of a tenant transfer, a tenant may refuse the first transfer offer by Port staff. If that tenant declines a space a second time, their name will be removed from the waiting list. If tenant wishes to remain on the waiting list, they must reapply and pay the appropriate fee. Tenant will be placed on the waiting list with a new application date.

- The Port may issue any number of moorage spaces as complimentary moorage, business moorage, or charter moorage without considering the waiting list. Tenants using these spaces must comply with applicable Port Rules and Regulations. Based upon demand and achieving maximum utilization of Port facilities, the Port may limit the number of slips that one individual or business can lease.

- Deposit Refunds: Deposits made for the waiting list are NOT refundable. When tenancy is initiated, the base rate deposit is NOT refundable during the first twelve (12) months.

- When a tenant moves to a different space or slip, the deposit is adjusted accordingly, and the tenant’s account is charged or credited the difference. When the Port of Edmonds increases the base rate, Accounts Receivable increases the tenant’s deposit and charges the tenant’s account for the difference.

- Upgrading: A tenant must register their name on the appropriate waiting list to upgrade their space. Prior to upgrading, the tenant must be in compliance with all Port Rules and Regulations, including payment of all charges when due. The first placement on the waiting list requires a non-refundable fee and annual waiting list renewal fees. If a tenant wishes to be on more than one waiting list, they will be required to pay the applicable waiting list deposit for each additional waiting list. The tenant will be placed on the specified waiting list with the effective date being the date of placement on the new waiting list. When the tenant’s name is removed from the waiting list, deposits for the second and additional waiting list(s) are forfeited.

I have read and understand our waiting list rules and policies

I understand that the $200.00 waitlist deposit is non-refundable if I am removed from the waitlist before initiating tenancy

I am certain the length overall ( LOA ) of my vessel fits within the slip size waitlist I select. The Port defines LOA as measurement in feet and inches from the furthermost protruding object forward to the furthermost protruding object aft on the boat. This includes anchors, bow pulpits, railings, swim steps, raised outboards, tenders and any other equipment or part of the boat which is permanently or temporarily attached to the boat while it is in the slip. The Port may terminate moorage for a vessel deemed too large for a slip.
