Portage Bay - Houseboats of Seattle (And Floating Homes!)

Portage Bay is a body of water, often thought of as the eastern arm of Lake Union, that forms a part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal in Seattle, Washington.

To the east, Portage Bay is connected with Union Bay—a part of Lake Washington—by the Montlake Cut, over which spans the Montlake Bridge carrying State Route 513. To the north is the campus of the University of Washington. To the west, Portage Bay is spanned by the University Bridge, which carries Eastlake Avenue between Eastlake and the University District. Its westernmost limit can be said to be the Ship Canal Bridge, which carries Interstate 5 over the water; past this bridge, the body of water is deemed to be Lake Union. In the southern portion, Portage Bay is spanned by the Portage Bay Viaduct, which carries State Route 520 from the Eastlake/Capitol Hill district to Montlake.

This houseboat is a Seattle summer’s best kept secret! The houseboat is located in the coveted end-slot position, which allows unrestricted views of both Lake Union and the city skyline, to say nothing of the dazzling firework views July will bring! Step inside the houseboat to find the perfect space for lively gatherings and tranquil solo time alike: There’s a wide interior, a thoughtfully equipped kitchen, and impressively vaulted ceilings throughout. A barn door leads to a three-quarter bathroom, and the expansive living room offers easy deck access through radiant stained glass doors. Upstairs, find a welcoming bedroom with high ceilings, marina views, and a large closet. This houseboat’s perfect location goes deeper than its gobsmacking views. With two Marina parking spots included, you’re just minutes from all this area has to offer and all of its richest attractions: Gasworks Brewery, the scenic Burke Gilman Trail, the University of Washington and its vibrant surrounding neighborhood, and more. Plus, lake-centric recreation is yours for the enjoyment, with kayaking, paddleboarding, and even sea-planing less than a stone’s throw away. Do Seattle living the right way— summer or any season— aboard this sensational houseboat.
