launch ramps Seattle area

[Lummisailor]

Hi fellow and gal Tug Nuts
Synergy is planning a road trip from Bellingham to Seattle soon. We are looking for a salt water launch ramp that has easy access from Interstate 5 with out steep hills to deal with , and can provide parking for the truck and trailer.

Shilshole Marina has a launch ramp. You should be able to hills if you route carefully.

Otherwise, you could drive to the Edmonds marina and have them put it in with the lift?

South of Seattle, tacoman and desmoine marinas are nice and safe, been there and left my truck and trailer

Everett has great protected ramps with easy access from I-5.

Has any one used the boat ramp at Don Armeni Park in South Seattle latley

Don Armeni is a pretty good ramp. Access to and from I-5 is not to bad. The ramp has no breakwater to shield it from the wake of passing ferries, ships, and other oats. And this time of year, on nice days it can be rather crowded with non boater types. With its small grassy park and cross bay panoramic view of the city it seems to be a Mecca for a backdrop for just about every wedding photographer in a 300 mile radius.
