Discover the Rich History and Legacy of Elliott Bay Marina
Elliott Bay Marina stands as a testament to the vision and dedication of local boating enthusiasts who transformed a barren stretch of shoreline into one of the West Coast’s premier marinas. Built at the base of Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood, the project began after a decade-long permitting process and broke ground in 1989. What was once a shallow, exposed mudflat became the largest privately owned marina on the West Coast, featuring more than 1,200 in-water slips and 10 miles of dock space.
From the start, Elliott Bay Marina was designed to offer not only secure, high-quality moorage but also a sense of community and connection to the water. Today, the marina remains a cornerstone of Seattle’s boating culture—offering world-class amenities, breathtaking views of the Seattle skyline and Olympic Mountains, and a deep-rooted commitment to service, sustainability, and excellence.

Our Reviews
We have been residents of EBM for three years now, and we’ll say this place is like a country club. The only thing missing is Golfers. We boated in Newport Beach, Ca. and Dana Point, and Catalina and those places can’t hold a candle to EBM. How many places can you get assistance mooring on a windy day? You can here. The staff goes out of their way to know your name and fill any of your needs. The restaurants are fabulous. The gas dock is friendly too. These people are first-class and the best in Seattle.

We live five hours away from our boat and enjoy the confidence we have in the marina’s security and the watchfulness by staff.

Quiet, hidden gem. Great restaurants, slips, accessibility and extaordinary views of the city and Mt. Rainier.
