Current Status

December 2006

Parks staff have redesigned this project, obtained new permits, and requested supplemental funding from the state of Washington Interagency Committee on Outdoor Recreation.

Construction for the revised project is scheduled to begin in November 2006.

The area will be closed to the public while the work is being done, which will be completed in December/January time frame (weather permitting). The boat ramp will reopen except for a one week closure which will take place in April to resurface the parking area.

Project Description

Budget: $1,291,000
Funding provided by Parks Department Major Maintenance, and by a State of Washington IAC grant to improve boat-on-trailer recreation.
Construction begins: November and December, 2006
Project complete: 1/1/2007

The Atlantic City Boat Ramp, located in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood, is scheduled to undergo pier repairs and slight remodeling in 2006.

The boat ramp can currently accommodate up to six boats at a time. After construction, it will be to accomodate more.

Funding was provided by Washington State Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation (IAC), and matched by the City of Seattle. The project was designed and permitted to comply with tight shoreline standards created to protect fish. However, the bids received for the project in 2004 were far above the budget available. The plan was re-worked and is now being implemented by Hurlen Construction.
