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.

By Courtney Cooper, Realtor, Cooper Jacobs Real Estate, courtney@cooperjacobs.com, 206-850-8841, on February 23rd, 2010% Seattle Houseboats: Children on Floating Homes: How do you raise children on a floating home? I have asked this question quite a bit and it is always interesting to get the various answers, but I would love to hear your top ten tips for living on a houseboat with a child.
 Children and boating: My in laws have a sailboat they sail around the Sound and all the docks at the marinas we stop in and see them at require children to wear a life jacket just to walk on the dock. I agree with this policy.
Children on floating home docks around Lake Union and Portage Bay: I know some of the policies around the docks for kids and pets, but always wonder how some of the various Seattle houseboats co-ops cover themselves for just this thing. I asked that question yesterday while previewing a brand new Eastlake floating home on the market (which is very cool by the way). My question to one of the houseboat neighbors was what is your child policy? He looked at me funny because of course that was a wacko way to word the question, but he smiled and said: “Parents.” Perfect answer.
Floating home child safety for houseboats: What do some of the parents do to keep their children safe around the docks when you live in a floating home lifestyle? I know of one family who keeps life jackets on hooks at every door. It is just a way of life. Other answers I have gotten over the years: Of course they get swim lessons early as well. Special railings on decks to keep toys, etc. from rolling off. What great solution have you come up with to keep your child safe while living life afloat in one of the very best Seattle waterfront lifestyles? Let us know! homes@seattleafloat.com
By Courtney Cooper, Realtor, Cooper Jacobs Real Estate, courtney@cooperjacobs.com, 206-850-8841, on February 16th, 2010% SeattleAfloat: Floating homes, Houseboats, More: You can all the latest Seattle houseboats for sale on the corporate real estate site.
Here is a great peek at the North Part of Westlake on the base of Queen Anne (Northlake). This is West across form Eastlake and South of Wallingford right by the Aurora Bridge and near Fremont.
 Westlake floating homes: Westlake has some wonderful shops along the Lake Union (Cheshihud) Loop. You can also catch a glimpse into some of the cute treatments certain floating homes get from their owners.
This floating back deck for instance is in the moorage where you might usually find a boat, but the savvy owners have decided that adding outdoor space might better serve their life afloat.
(I love little Seattle houseboat details like this)
What kind of details do you have that are unique for your life afloat in Seattle?
Seattle Afloat: It is great seeing all the differences in each floating home: Little peep holes to see if the store is open or liquor hatches in the floats left over from prohibition. Tiny cubbies fitted with hinges in the stair case to make use of any dead spaces for storage.
