The engineering design for a complete renovation of a public marina in Portage Bay for the University of Washington was provided by Reid Middleton. Project tasks include planning and marina layout, permitting, design, and construction administration assistance for a seventy-slip marina. Project elements included all new piling, float systems, utilities, and security systems for the renovated marina. The float system used an innovative HDPE pipe system for flotation with a fully grated deck to improve environmental conditions at the site.

In addition, the shoreline mitigation / restoration included approximately 120 linear foot of bulkhead wall and sidewalk removal and creation of a more natural shoreline. The shoreline restoration included site grading to an approximate 3:1 slope, soil amendment, and planting of several different types of native vegetation (ranging from small bushes to trees). In addition to this, several logs were secured at approximately the high water level to act as a more natural wave break and fish mix gravel was placed below the logs for the remainder of the slope to enhance the potential fish habitat.
