Can we moor near the launch in Everett Friday and Saturday night?

Yes. You can use guest moorage at the Everett Marina which is just a few hundred yards down river from the launch. Very nice facilities including showers, laundry, fuel and restaurants. About 50 cents per foot per night, I think. More info here

Yes, There are three choices. You can stay at the dock at the ramp. Their is even a bath room at the top of the dock. You can stay at the dock in front of the marina or you can tie up at the dock on jetty island across from the ramp. I would not drop anchor any where around here. any where that is not in the channel is to shallow or too exposed.

If you are planning on spending the night (s) at the Everett Marina, I would suggest not using the guest moorage at the entrance to the Marine. This dock is in the river. The night tides are huge, with the added excitement of "stuff" coming down the river on the ebb. The high tides will find lots of logs, branches etc to wash down stream during the night ebb. I would suggest mooring at the inside guest dock, or at the newly opened part of the marina. You will spend a much more comfortable night.

Well, the weather forecasts that I can find only go through Friday - and increasing temps and decreasing chance of rain each day from Wednesday through Friday, so I guess it bodes well for Saturday!

I just signed up. The Everett marina is user friendly, and not to far away. If the water isn't too rough to come over Friday, I'll be at the marina for the night. I've been wanting to make that trip up the river.

Well gang the weather man say's its going to be clear on saturday. I will take a test ride on sunday to make sure that the river is not to high or blocked by junk in the water. i am going to take advantage of the high water to try a different route this year. Just going to add to the route a little. Be prepared for a lot of stuff in the water, logs, trash, dead chum, and who knows what else. Should be fun.
