Staff report

Community members, elected offi-
cials and Port of Allyn staff members
earlier this week celebrated the port
marina’s repaired floating dock and
unveiled its new moorage facility.
Port staff, commissioners and
other community members cut a cer-
emonial ribbon Monday morning at
the dock after more than two years of
repair work.
After the Port received funding for
the project, a winter storm earlier this
year sunk the southern portion of the
dock. A nine-month legal battle with
the port’s insurer, Enduris, about the
cost of replacing the damaged section
followed, according to the port.
The Port and Enduris reached a
settlement in October, but the Port
lost moorage revenue for 2019 since
the dock was deemed unsafe.
The Port’s board of commission-
ers decided to move forward with the
repair work despite the legal battle,
but found additional damage in the
center section of the dock, prompt-
ing replacement rather than simple
repairs. '
Tacoma-based Marine Floats com-
pleted the work for the Port of Allyn.
“We’re thrilled with the great job
Marine Floats did for us under a very
tight timeline. They delivered a great
