Sand Point North Shore Development
- Status
- Funded in 2003
This development proposal by the city of Seattle will create a major non-motorized boating facility at the Sand Point North Shore Area in popular Sand Point Magnuson Park. There are currently no other formalized public facilities that support non-motorized boating recreation and access to the northern end of Lake Washington. Many of the current sites around the lake are rather informal facilities that are small, not capable of handling a large volume of use, and may not be barrier-free. This project is a key component of the City's Sand Point Magnuson Master Reuse Plan. The project will improve boating access to Lake Washington, accommodate people with disability, and provide necessary support amenities and facilities. Proposed improvements include: construction of new docks, ramps, a float, a boat launching beach, on-land boat storage, a waterfront promenade, picnic area, paths, and development of an aquatic habitat area as a mitigation requirement of the permitting process. The new aquatic habitat is sited away from the location of the new docks and ramps and there is adequate buffer between the two amenities to maintain a good balance for park users.
Location
On I-5 take the 65th NE exit, head east for 5 miles until you reach Sand Point Way. Turn left and enter in the main entrance of the Sand Point Park. Turn left and head north for a 1/3 mile and you are there.
