Nickerson Marina offers safe, secure, and affordable moorage on the Ballard Ship Canal. Located between the Ballard Locks and Lake Union, it provides easy access to both Lake Union and Puget Sound.
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.
