Boat owners have another month to renew their vessel registrations.
Unlike motor vehicles, boat renewals are due on the same day every year: June 30.
The state Department of Licensing used to mail out renewal reminders for anyone with a boat or personal watercraft. The state discontinued that practice this year and instead sent only a generic postcard reminder. The switch is expected to save the state $150,000 each year.
Boat registrations can be renewed online or in person at a neighborhood vehicle licensing office. Those who choose to renew in an office should make sure to note the registration number on the bow of the boat or watercraft and take that information to the office.
To receive an e-mail reminder, go to the Department of Licensing website, www.dol.wa.gov, no later than June 8. After that date, the notice will arrive in 2011.
