Just came over the wire:
Here is a list the NMTA staff has compiled on some local boat ramps and on-water boating facilities that are either open or closed related to the Stay Home, Stay Healthy order.
Boaters are advised to contact the facilities directly before heading out the door. Also, please follow Governor Jay Inslee's order and only use your boat or watercraft if it falls under the approved guidance. This will ensure that our recreational boating activities can get back to normal hopefully sooner than later.
Don Armeni boat ramp at West Seattle City of Seattle – Ramp and adjacent boat parking lot is currently open daily for public use.
Eddie Vine boat ramp at West Seattle City of Seattle – Ramp and adjacent boat parking lot is currently open daily for public use. Golden Gardens Park located just north of the ramp and the park's parking lot are closed.
