Medium-sized marina with multiple piers packed with boats, adjacent surface parking lot with visible vehicles but no striping or access controls.
Centrally located on the western shore of Lake Washington, Leschi and Lakewood Marinas provide convenient access to all the lake has to offer and feature permit parking. Both marinas are designed primarily to fit the needs of boats under 30', with some limited accommodations for larger vessels.
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.
