Boat Launch Permits

Boat Launch permits are required at 5 of our 7 boat launches. The two launches not needing permits are Sunnyside Ave NW and 14th Ave NW, but note there is little to no parking.

Stan Sayres Boat Ramp on Lake WA Blvd. is mostly closed while SPR awaits federal permits to begin repair work. For Stan Sayres, limited launching is allowed for boats and vehicles that can fit in between the block barriers to use just the central portion of the ramp.

Boat Launch Fees and Payment

There is a $12.00 boat launch fee at these boat ramps:

Fees are collected using the PayByPhone app.  An additional $12.00 daily fee is required for vehicles parked overnight, up to 4 days maximum.
