The new port fuel dock is a gem

My wife and I have boated and owned boats in the Olympia area for more than 30 years. When we began boating, there were four fuel docks in Budd Inlet: Olympia Marina, Standard Fuel Dock, Westbay and Boston Harbor. Over the years, for various reasons, we’ve lost all of those except Boston Harbor.

With the new fuel dock we save at least an hour (and 9 gallons of fuel) when we need to fuel our boat. We’ve used the port dock twice now and are very happy with the service and convenience. Give it time, it will become an essential part of Olympia.
