The Port of Edmonds

What The Port of Edmonds does

The Port of Edmonds is a public port district and municipal corporation established under Washington State law and located at 471 Admiral Way in Edmonds, Washington. It operates a full-service marina offering wet moorage, dry storage, guest moorage, a public boat launch, a fuel dock supplying unleaded and diesel fuel, and a travelift and boatyard for vessel hauling and maintenance. Supporting amenities include vehicle parking, marina Wi-Fi, live port cameras, and NOAA weather integration. These marine services are delivered directly through the Port's own waterfront facilities to a base of individual recreational boaters, commercial vessel operators, and visitors.

Beyond marine operations, the Port owns Harbor Square, a mixed-use commercial property that leases office space to business tenants, providing a secondary revenue stream that complements the marina. The Port's stated mission is to deliver economic development, marina and commercial operations, waterfront public access, and environmental stewardship to the Edmonds community. Marketing and customer outreach are conducted primarily through the Port's official website, an official Facebook page, and an RSS feed for news and commission notices.

The Port is governed by an elected Port Commission that sets strategic direction, approves budgets, and oversees public records, interlocal agreements, and operations reports. As a government entity, the Port is not subject to private equity or venture capital ownership and is funded through a combination of moorage and storage fees, fuel sales, commercial lease income, and public-port revenue mechanics typical of Washington State port districts. The current operating footprint is a single location in Edmonds with 11-50 employees and no disclosed subsidiaries, acquisitions, or geographic expansion.

• Suntex Marinas: One of the largest U.S. operators of recreational marinas, offering moorage, storage, fuel, and boat services. Comparable service stack to the Port of Edmonds but as a large private-sector operator across many geographies.
