Our thanks to those of you who took our Boating Guide survey! The goal of the survey was to find out if there’s strong interest in a guide to boating at Washington’s marine state parks and parks with water access, along with additional info about boating safety, pumpout locations, environmental considerations, etc.

More than 5,000 people responded! And more than 60% of respondents said they would be interested in such a guide. We’ll be taking a closer look at the survey data we collected and using it to produce a guide that will be a useful resource for boaters.
