A message from the Port of Brownsville regarding Covid-19

The Port of Brownsville is continuing to take precautions to reduce the potential spread of Covid-19 including reduced contact and cleaning. We understand that many people are eager to get outside due to the warm weather, but we must remind everyone to continue practicing proper social distancing and encourage people to wash their hands regularly. This is a simple step that anyone can do to help reduce the spread of this virus and help yourself and others stay healthy.

With these changes the Port has increased its hours of operation to what you see displayed.

The first Brownsville dock was built in 1901 by community donated work and continued to be kept up by community effort until the Brownsville Port District was formed 7 April 1920 by special election. Brownsville Port District is what is known as an Independent “Special District.” State law defines a special district as “any agency of the state for the local performance of governmental or proprietary functions within limited boundaries.” A special district is a separate local government that delivers public services.

Brownsville is located on the Port Orchard Bay half way between Bremerton and Poulsbo making it a convenient place to visit or stay. The Port facility offers both guest and permanent moorager’s excellent parking, fuel, large boat ramps, electrical and water hook-ups at all moorage sites.
