Take your pick: calm, protected waters during the winter months or high tale it out to center stage at the end of dock for some amazing summer time fun.
 - The Ark
-
This houseboat, adopted the name “The Ark”, is unique so you can have your choice of two slips. 2401 North Northlake Way Slip B-17 (and L-16) lives at the Seattle Marina which is at the North tip of Lake Union; a spot that is completely cured with barges, vessells, houseboats, sailboats, kayaks, parks, trails, restaurants, surf shop, and more. Living here full time or part time allows you to soak in the seaplanes coming and going, the walkability to the Wallingford community due North, or the funkiness of the Fremont community due West. The Burke-Gilman Trail leads you right to the University of Washington’s front door too.
 Comfortably open floor plan Truly an amazing location for an amazing houseboat. This beauty is a 60′ long Catamaran designboat with a steel hull (which was just painted) and insulated with polyurethane foam cylinders. Extensive and thoughtful care has been taken by The Ark’s owner. The 1,000 square feet of living space (including 2 bedrooms and 1.50 baths) has the style and sophistication you deserve on the water! Forced air in all the rooms, two new engines in 2007 with 135 hp and 4 cylinders plus a 220 gallon water storage tank.
Insulated storm windows throughout, high speed internet cable available, hot water showe to rinse off after a kayak trip to the favorite, local Aqua Verde restaurant. Financing options are available ~ feel free to contact us to answer more of your questions or a free tour.

By SeattleAfloat.com: Homes@SeattleAfloat.com, on December 7th, 2010%  Seattle Houseboats For Sale – Current Real Estate Market on Lake Union
The Seattle houseboats market has tightened up with only 10 Seattle floating homes on the market right now. Floating homes on the market range form $299,000 to $3,800,000 with a median price of $612,475.
Current Seattle floating homes on the market include two with leased dock moorage – this is non owned moorage and the least secure. There are good opportunities with owned moorage docks, so I would definitely check those first as the more secure investment. Costs actually tend to be better as well in most cases which is a common misunderstanding.
Three of the best Seattle floating homes value and quality wise currently for sale which also happen to be on owned moorage docks:
2 Bedroom Seattle Houseboat in Eastlake: 
2321 Fairview Ave E: Lake Union moorage for boat alongside floating home, 2 bedrooms, loft, ability to go up with remodel and added flotation, loft, wood floors, gas fireplace, roof top deck, more - This is a beautiful Eastlake Seattle houseboat! $595,000
$299k For A Seattle Floating Home!
2764 Westlake Ave N: Historic Seattle houseboat with sleeping loft and cozy wood burning fireplace plus claw foot tub – very cool get away and an ideal in city condo alternative – located in Westlake at the base of Queen Anne on Lake Union - close to Amazon and Gates Foundation, and still walkable to Fremont! $299,000
2 Bedroom Westlake Floating Home
2764 Westlake Ave N: 2 bedroom fun and funky Seattle houseboat on wide channel with huge deck! Right on the Lake Union Loop and a perfect place to snuggle in for the winter and call home! $399,000

 Dockside from the Willow Dock, you can see the roof top and all the beautiful surroundings here... This has to be the best Seattle floating homes buy on Fairview Ave E in Eastlake.
This peaceful floating home has 1930 characteristics, but modern sensibilities – look no further than the gleaming hardwoods and modern slate bathroom for comfortable touches, but also don’t miss the fact that this particular houseboat has gas on the dock. The gas is on the dock and also in the home itself! There is a cozy gas fireplace in the living room to warm up on those gray days with.
We get a lot of calls for Lake Union moorage and this special floating home does have moorage with room for a couple boats depending on size. One of the biggest surprises to people looking for houseboats is that they don’t all have moorage attached to them or even available. Not only does hti sone have it abundantly, but the slip for the house itself is also owned with low dues and a pet friendly dock. It really has all the items on most people’s list for Seattle floating homes (even the roof top deck!)
We have had many people say this is the best priced Seattle houseboat on Lake Union and we agree – let us know if you want a private tour of what life afloat could be like here.
- 2 Bedrooms Plus Sleeping Loft
- Room to go up
- Lake Union Moorage
- gas fireplace
- remodeled slate bath with modern fixtures
- walk around deck
- special customized ramp to adjust for differences in Lake level throughout the year.
- co-op owned dock
- low taxes and low dues

By SeattleAfloat.com: Homes@SeattleAfloat.com, on August 15th, 2010% Looking at Houseboats and wondering about some of the docks?
Dock rules and By-Laws change, but here are some basics.
The Log Foundation is a group of 3 docks at and are on the three most South Seattle Floating homes docks just North of Terry Pettus Park. The Log Foundation is a co-op. This means the submerged land that their dock is on (less the DNR leased land) is cooperatively owned by the homeowners on the dock.
The Log Foundation addresses are:
2017 Fairview Ave E
2019 Fairview Ave E
2025 Fairview Ave E
Lake Union fluctuates almost two feet and is at its lowest point in August. These three docks are not floating docks and so the houses go up and down depending on the water level in Lake Union while the dock stays the same height. This requires stepping down or up to get on and off the houseboat or the dock. Many clever home owners have come up with wonderful solutions.
Houseboaters in general tend to be quite considerate and thoughtful people, but The Log Foundation has some WONDERFUL people on it and the docks have great Southerly views of the city and Space Needle. You can check for Seattle floating homes for sale on these docks by visiting our Seattle houseboats page on Cooper Jacobs.
