Security was seen walking the docks regularly. Like other marinas, Swantown has a bit of a derelict vessel problem. There are some that need to be moved out of guest moorage, however this did not impact our enjoyable stay. Price was a bit expensive, but certainly doable. Stay in channel when approaching east or west waterways.

They rent kayaks, sell boating supplies, and sell food and booze, both for drop-ins and locals/vacationers. The fish and chips from the snack bar - which I was very excited to try - tasted more like old fryer oil than fish, so that was a bummer, but the tartar was good and the staff is friendly. It's worth checking out the Puget Sound Estuarium's website if you're interested in the area wildlife, as our kids have participated in some of their activities at BHM.

Asked about the fish & chips and it sounded like their food was all frozen, not home made fresh batter dipped seafood, so not a knock your socks off meal but still very tasty, so if you are in the area & hungry, this is a nice place to dine, with a beautiful view of the harbor & boats right on the beach. Also had a perfect triple shot mocha Espresso with a shot of vanilla syrup, very nice & robust, based on the hot sleeve is Dancing Goats coffee which is one of the best local roasted coffee in Oly as its also associated with Batdorf & Bronson. the staff working there was very friendly & nice, and responded fast when I dinged the bell to get their attention, so over all I had a really nice relaxing dining experience outside overlooking the bay on a very nice day. All in all, not sure how open & welcoming the area is, parking was for customers only, marina sandwiched between the private local waterfront homes, so not sure how open it is to the public although from the marina you could go down on the beach. Not too far away is a very nice park though with hiking trails & short walk to the water, so might be a good place to eat before or after exploring the county park.

They also charge a fee for using a credit card and try to charge for extra taxes. Their mechanics charge for time that they are not repairing the boat. They charged us for time when a mechanic was standing around doing nothing and time when our boat was too frozen to be repaired. They are not honest and their fees are unreasonable. I hope no one else gets swindled by them.
