We are seeing a surge in the number of Whatcom County residents who have recently purchased a boat from outside of Washington. Many of these boats have recently been used or tested in waters infested with invasive mussels. If you recently purchased a boat, call our hotline at (360) 778-7975 to schedule your inspection (and possible decontamination) and avoid delays at the launch.
- What kind of boat is it? Does it have ballast tanks or bags?
- Where and when was the boat last in the water?
- Was it moored or just used for day use?
- How and when was it transported to Washington?
- Was it inspected and/or decontaminated anywhere on the way to Washington?
