  • Proposed state bill could boost local marine service businesses

    A House bill making its way through the state Legislature is gaining support from local boat repair companies who say current law makes it a challenge to attract out-of-state boaters.

    The Marine Tourism Bill would increase to six months the amount of time an out-of-state boat owned by a business could stay in Washington. Currently, such boats can stay in Washington up to 60 days without potentially facing thousands of dollars in state taxes.

    Lengthening the time they could stay would help bring more money into the state because boat owners would be more likely to stay here for boat maintenance and would spend money on other products while visiting, said Phil Riise, the president of Seaview Boatyard and Yacht Service, which has facilities in Bellingham and Seattle.
