John Wayne Marina, while beautiful and providing access to the usually quiet waters of Sequim Bay, is not even close to providing the full range of services that a modern marina is expected to have. But if you want haul-out services, need access to marine hardware stores, food markets, public transportation, or want to eat at a moderately priced restaurant than you are out of luck. Even parking for marina slip renters can be a major problem during the summer. 

I expect when the rates for slip rental increase to 110% of the average rates of area marinas, we will see some attrition among marina slip holders. Some boaters will move to other marinas and some will utilize their trailers and vacancy rates will increase again. Then what will the rates for slips be?
