Wash. Admin. Code § 352-66-095 - Inland waters obstruction mark
(1) On inland
waters designated by the commandant as state waters in accordance with 33
C.F.R., Part 66 and on nonnavigable internal waters of a state which have no
defined head of navigation, a buoy showing alternate vertical black and white
stripes may be used to indicate to a vessel operator that an obstruction to
navigation extends from the nearest shore to the buoy.
(2) The black and white buoy's meaning is "do
not pass between the buoy and the shore." The number of white and black stripes
is discretionary, provided that the white stripes are twice the width of the
black stripes. Prior to December 31, 2003, this aid shall not be used on a
waterway which has a red and white striped obstruction marker defined in 33
C.F.R., Part 66 of that chapter, unless all obstruction markers are
replaced.
