San Juan County’s Public Works Department is exploring an option to purchase additional property adjacent to the Davis Bay boat ramp and barge landing facility on Decatur Island. On June 24, Public Works entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition of 458 Davis Beach Road, an adjacent 0.8-acre waterfront parcel and residence, for the list price of $750,000. The PSA provides an opportunity to engage with the community; it does not provide authorization to purchase the property.

On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the public is invited to visit the property with Council member Jane Fuller (District 3) and Public Works Director Colin Huntemer to share their opinions and ideas regarding this property and its usefulness to better serve the transportation needs of Decatur Island residents. The lunch discussion will be at 458 Davis Beach Road, Decatur from noon to 1 p.m. This is an opportunity to share feedback with County staff and your elected council member. Feel free to bring your bag lunch, a lawn chair and your questions.
