Medium-sized marina with multiple piers accommodating around 60 boats, adjacent to a beach with a gravel/surface parking area containing several vehicles and some construction activity nearby.
Hat Island Marina is located on Hat Island in Snohomish County, Washington, situated within the sheltered waters of Puget Sound, an inland sea connected to the Pacific Ocean along the state's northern coast. This marina serves recreational boating and sailing activities in the Pacific Northwest, providing access to the calm, island-dotted channels of Puget Sound near the city of Everett. Its setting offers boaters opportunities to explore the region's diverse marine environment, including nearby bays and passages.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
