Snagboat W.T. Preston Now Open Daily for Tours

The 163-foot, wooden hulled W.T. Preston pulled snags, performed light dredging, and otherwise worked the waters of Puget Sound until 1981.

Preston is $2 for adults, $1 for children 8-16, and $1 for seniors 65+. Children 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. The first floor of the snagboat is handicapped-accessible.
