Also be aware that more and more lakes throughout the state are passing additional rules regarding jet skis and their hours of operation. New restrictions on personal watercraft typically will be posted at public boat launches and other public areas. In KCC 12.44 speed limit information is specified. Generally, no motor powered watercraft can be operated on any lake in excess of eight miles per hour. For all lakes in Washington state, boaters are required to keep their vessels under control at all times and should never endanger the safety of others or harm property and wildlife.
Skippers are responsible for damage caused by their vessels' wakes.
