Tires hanging at our docks keep releasing 6PPD and its toxic byproduct, 6PPD-quinone, into the shallow, slow-moving water where young fish feed and shelter, and that chemical can kill coho salmon within hours. Unlike highway runoff, dock tires are a pollution source we can remove ourselves, cheaply and right away, so replacing them with 6PPD-free bumpers is one of the most direct ways to protect Lake Union’s wildlife.

(Artile updated October 10, 2026)Q: Do tires in and over the water pose a serious environmental risk to our lake? Tires used as dock or boat bumpers don’t seem like a concern, since there’s no friction to break them down. Isn’t the bigger problem the tire dust coming off the interstate?A: It.....

Last year, Mother Nature canceled our Floating Homes Association Dock Rock concert with a FREAK storm. Remember? The horror! Well... we're getting back on that horse! Friday, JULY 17th to be specific, This year our pals at Paddle Rave are putting on the show from our beautiful floating home (thank you Melanie) near Terry Pettus Park. It's an incredible multigenre set featuring local Seattle artists. IT’S GONNA BE SWEET.

Boats are certainly allowed, but please stay back - clear from the paddlers. For SUPs, please launch from a spot like Lynn Street park because Terry Pettus park is closed.

Come enjoy a great evening on the water with live music and friends. And no storms, please. More info here: https://posh.vip/e/dock-rock-july-17th
