Timber Pile Project Update 2/3/2012

The Timber Pile Replacement Project was awarded to Pacific Pile and Marine on December 1, 2011.  Mobilization of the barges will begin on Monday, February 6th.  The crew will start replacing pilings on Tuesday beginning with the fuel dock and guest moorage, which we anticipate should be completed by mid-week.  The fuel dock will be open for this weekend, February 3rd through Monday, February 6th and will temporarily shut down on Tuesday morning until guest moorage and fuel dock construction is complete.  This closure will also affect the pump-out and the potable water on the fuel dock.   Pacific Pile will then start construction on E dock towards the end of next week and will continue to work towards A dock as removal and replacement progresses.  Please stay tuned for a more accurate schedule to come next week.  Guest moorage will be available for tenants who wish to use it while their slips are under construction.  Most boats will not need to move as we will be able to safely raft vessels in their slips.  If your vessel requires relocating, the Port office will contact you.  Those vessels which extend into the fairway may need to be relocated, especially in the narrow fairways.  Once the Pacific Pile begins construction on your dock, you will not be able to move your boat in or out of your slip until each dock is completed.  The Port is replacing 56 piles in total and we anticipate roughly 4 piles replaced per day.  The completion deadline is March 4th.  Thank you for working with us during this busy time and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.  Please stay tuned for more information.

Port of Kingston - A great place to stop - For a weekend or for a lifetime.

The Port of Kingston was established by the state legislature in 1919 as one of the original Mosquito Fleet landing sites.  The port is located on Apple Tree Cove where the Carpenter Creek Estuary flows into Puget Sound.  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has designated the Port of Kingston as a safe harbor during storms.

The geographic location of the port provides convenient access to prime, commercial, tribal and recreational fishing and crabbing grounds. The Port of Kingston is a favorite stopping off point for boaters travelling from the southern areas of Puget Sound heading to the Strait of Juan De Fuca, the San Juan Islands, the Canadian Gulf Islands, and even Alaska.  Proximity to the Olympic Peninsula offers opportunities for campers, hikers and bikers as well. Washington State Ferries operate the western terminal of the Edmonds-Kingston run at the Port of Kingston.  Over 4 million passengers a year use this route for commuting, business and recreation.

The Kingston Port District was established in 1919 to provide a locally-owned ferry docking facility for service by the "Mosquito Fleet". The Port of Kingston is one of 12 Port districts in Kitsap County. The Port is a special purpose district governed by a three directly elected commissioners. The Mosquito Fleet was a ferry system that provided service the local area via the Kingston Port District's docking facilities until 1951, when Washington State established the current state ferry system.
