Winterizing question?

Thanks for looking, I'll try to be as brief as possible.

I know nothing about winterizing, we have always paid to have it done at the storage facility we use. We also have it de-winterized there as well. This past spring we finally built a garage and will be able to store it at home now. Due to a complicated pregnancy and a new baby, we never made it out on the water this season. So my question is that if the boat never got on the water after being de-winterized, do you think I need to winterize again? We are in Seattle, so not too many freezing days, but we do get a few.

Thanks!
Oh, wife and baby are doing great, just bummed about missing a season. Can't wait to teach the little one.

It depends on what was done during the de-winterization. The way I de-winterize boats, you will need to have it winterized again.

They probably started it so it needs to be drained at least.
