The Port of Mabana on Camano Island is established by Island County commissioners on March 1, 1926 and is governed by a three-member elected commission.  The Port is considered to be an active port with the regular work of keeping the beach area cleared for recreational use. It does not have any facilities and the public water access is a 40-foot break in the seawall.

The Port’s Position 1 was recently vacated on January 3, 2022 by the resignation of Port Commissioner Kent W. Wallace.

The BOCC will appoint Wallace’s successor as per RCW 42.12.070(4).  The appointment will continue through the next general election (Nov. 2023) and until a successor is elected and qualified.
