Elliott Bay Marina is a private marina located in Seattle, Washington. It opened in 1991,[1] after 17 years in the planning and permit process. There are 1,200 slips available for moorage ranging in size from 32 to 63 feet with 52% of the boats between 36 and 50 feet LOA.[2]

The boat types are evenly split between sailboats and powerboats, which reflects the great sailing conditions[3] on Puget Sound. Forty boats are liveaboards. Another 60 slips must remain available for transient boaters per agreement with the city.[4][5]

The marina hosts the Downtown Sailing Series on Thursday nights during the summer.
