During these times, the Port staff continues to focus on serving the public and Port tenants, as well as protect the health of the community and Port employees. As communities nationwide continue to feel the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), I want to share with you the steps we’re taking to help protect the health of our tenants, employees, and communities. We continue to closely monitor local and national reports on the evolving impact of COVID-19.

In order to safeguard against the spread of the COVID-19 virus, effective Wednesday, March 25th, the Port of Brownsville office and marina will be temporarily closed to the public. Office personnel will still be working and are available to provide the assistance you need via email, phone, or mail.

The Marina restrooms and laundry facilities will remain open for marina tenants. The fuel dock will continue operations on a limited basis Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM. All facilities will continue to be disinfected multiple times daily. For additional questions or information, please call the Marina office (360-692-5498) and they will be happy to assist you.

We have asked any employee who shows symptoms or who have come into contact with an infected individual to stay home and follow the CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus.

All of us here at the Port feel deeply for those who have been impacted by this outbreak. We value your business and plan to take all necessary steps to ensure our office is a safe place for everyone. Again, the health and safety of our employees, tenants and our communities are a top priority and we’re committed to doing our part to help keep you safe.

Thank You,
Wendy Smith
Interim Port Manager

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.
