Make sure your boat is cleaned, drained, and dried before showing up at the inspection station. Remove any gear or equipment from internal compartments ahead of time and make sure all compartments are clean, drained, and dry. Consider only using your boat at Lake Whatcom or Lake Samish this season and you can participate in our Wire Seal Program and go through an expedited inspection process on your next visit.
We need your help to protect Whatcom County waters. Together, we can stop the spread of aquatic invasive species and protect our environment, our drinking water supply, and our way of life.
