The Seacrest transition is under way, with Alki Crab and Fish now closed, and Marination taking over next week, with months of renovation work ahead before they officially open this summer (as we reported last week). Now, there’s word of an open house later this month. Just e-mailed by Seattle Parks:

Seattle Parks and Marination, the new Concessionaire for the Seacrest Boathouse Facility, are hosting an open house on March 27, 2012, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the boathouse, 1660 Harbor Avenue SW.

The public is invited to the open house for a question and answer session and to learn about Marination’s vision and plan for providing quality food services at Seacrest. Come and learn about:

· What types of food they will have on their menu
· What types of boating recreation, and amenities, new and old, will be provided
· What types of remodeling and enhancements to the facility that are being proposed

We look forward to seeing you. For more information, please call Charles Ng, Operations Manager, Magnuson Park and Business Resources, at 206-684-8001, or email him at charles.ng@seattle.gov.
