In the 2002 regular election, Juneau-area voters approved the issue and sale of bonds totaling $15 million for improving the borough's harbors, utilities, and parks systems.[3][4] $7.1 million was allocated for the harbors, including Douglas.[5]

In January 2009, winter weather caused a boat in the harbor to sink.[6]
