The location
The Seattle Marina is one of the most picturesque houseboat marinas in Seattle. Home to 30 houseboats, Seattle Marina is a well regarded community of houseboat owners, liveaboards, and water enthusiasts. My first real estate office was at Seattle Marina and I used to moor a houseboat here so I am very familiar with this marina.
Only 5-mins walking distance from Gasworks Park and 15-minute walking distance from downtown Fremont, the Seattle Marina is very conveniently located.
The Seattle Marinas has 3 docks, each with its own gated entry and gate code.
In addition to off-street parking, it has its own parking lot and each houseboat owner has access to 1 parking spot.
Facilities include: 2 bathrooms with showers, package delivery box, boat launch, marina manager onsite, and some storage units for those with seniority.
The Seattle Marina is unique in that the management likes to reward houseboat owners who choose to stay there for many years by giving them options to move their houseboat to slips farther into the dock with even better views.
The Seattle Marina only allows pets if they are service animals or emotional support animals. Rentals of any kind are prohibited.
