I’m here at my Seattle houseboat open house on the glorious Westlake Cove. I open up both Float C and Float D and welcome people who stop by.
Many people ask me what living on a floating home is like. I tell them, with skepticism in their eyes, that it’s one of the coolest communities you can possibly find. No, I don’t live on one myself but I do appreciate them. If I had to clock in, I’d say I’m close to full time on a floating home between showings, open houses, and writing about them. To me, floating homes signify tidiness. Square footage and space are a privilege (which I also like). So to live on a floating home you either:
Insuring floating homes aren’t tough. There are three reputable companies in Seattle who welcomes floating home insurers. There are things to know about financing floating homes. Again, using a local resource (we have our favorites) is essential so feel free to contact us to share some of the resources with you. homes@SeattleAfloat.com Gas Works Park Marina On Lake Union Gorgeous Day in Seattle for water lovers on Lake Union.

 Tour Volunteer Katie Herrick of Cooper Jacobs Real Estate Services  SeattleAfloat.com sponsored tour ferry boat The Seattle Floating Homes Association Floating Homes Tour~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lots of happy faces at the Seattle Floating Homes Association Floating Homes Tour yesterday! The weather held out although it was supposed to pour on us and things went fairly smoothly. The Tour Committee………… The tour committee I had the opportunity to work with was wonderful (Thanks you Cathi, Jann, Laura, Melissa, Ingrid, Jo, Sylvia, Amy, Marty, and Bill). Volunteers……………… The volunteers were amazing and thoughtful and just such a huge part of making it a great day! Thank you to all the volunteers who came out in spades – I am so grateful for your help! The Tour…………….  Tour Volunteer Therese Byrne from Cooper Jacobs Real Estate Services with one of the happy tour goers at a home in Westlake. There were 12 Floating Homes on Tour plus a bonus Eastlake floating home for sale which got a lot of interest as it was on the same dock as house that was on tour. In addtion, ticket holders were treated to ferry service going back and forth between Terry Pettus Park and a floating dock in Westlake where they landed right at the famous Sleepless in Seattle houseboat. The owner was gracious as both a tour volunteer at the boat stop, but also delighted crowds by allowing them to walk around his deck a bit and see where the some of the movie was filmed.  Touring the Mallard Cove open houseboat on the Seattle Floating Homes Tour There were originally five homes slated to be on tour in Westlake, but due to an emergency, that side of the lake went down to four. All four homes were quite spectacular and very different from each other. On the Eastlake side of Lake Union, The Log Foundation Dock was kind enough to have all three of their docks open with a house on each for the tour. There was also a floating home open on the DOX co-op dock, Tenas Chuck, The Willow Co-op dock, Roanoke Reef, and Mallard Cove. All of these floating homes were unique and presented different ways of living on the lake.  PR Diva Laura at the coffee stand sponsored by Denise Carlson at Seattle Metropolitan Credit Union.
