Decided to land the dinghy in an attempt to pay, but no payment method visible at the Eagle Island info signage.
Had some difficulty departing due to tangling of the mooring line overnight.
12:30 departure; 3:20 arrival Olympia.
We go as far south as we can go in Puget Sound.
Props
Two large community docks
Great views of Washington state capital dome
Attractive and well-stocked Thriftway grocery, includes Dancing Goats espresso bar
Expansive walking paths along Budd inlet and Capital Lake
Numerous restaurants and shops
Row restaurant outstanding
Cons
Percival Landing docks rundown and sprouting weeds
Some lots abandoned or run down
Area attracts homeless
No security for public docks
Most coffee shops closed by 3, Washingtonians don’t seem to enjoy coffee in the late afternoon.
Recycling bins nowhere near Plaza Landing dock
Capital tours on hold due to pandemic or we could have seem the largest Tiffany chandelier
