Permit Safe, Environmental, Boat Fueling on Lake Sammamish

Permit Safe, Environmental, Boat Fueling on Lake Sammamish

The Issue

Lakeside Fueling delivers an extremely valuable service to the Lake Sammamish boating community.  With no fuel dock on the lake, boaters must fill, haul, store, and pour gas from several heavy 5-gallon plastic cans.  This is amateur gasoline handling, transport, and storage by hundreds of boaters is cumulatively far more dangerous and often ends up with some gas accidentally spilling in the lake.  For homes with many flights of stairs from parking lot to dock this service is essential for residents who are aging or have disabilities.  In 2015 Lakeside Fueling offered a professional service, with approved equipment, that was far safer, more environmental, and better for boaters – we ask you to allow it to resume service to boats on lifts.
