A great place for a nice stroll after dinner or lunch.

Elliott Bay Marina…read more We stopped by Elliott Bay Marina to get information about docking when we cruise north from Los Angeles to Washington with our motor yacht, @pacificpearlyacht. Ray went into the marina office and had the opportunity to speak with Brice, the harbormaster. He was incredibly nice, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the marina layout, guest accommodations, and what to expect seasonally, which immediately made us feel comfortable and confident about arriving by water. The marina itself is beautiful and well positioned, with approximately 1,200 slips and guest accommodations for traveling boats. Brice explained that during the summer months there is a lot of movement with boats coming in and out, and that winter docking is typically manageable as well, even though many owners keep their boats in place due to the colder weather. Overall, it was a very positive and reassuring experience. We're looking forward to our next visit--next time arriving from the water side, which is the plan. Highly recommend Elliott Bay Marina for anyone cruising into Seattle.

I visited here for lunch at Pidgin Cooperative, a co-op restaurant that I would visit again! At the back of the building are docks for working vessels. During the summer months, as you drive in, there are hand written signs promising the freshest fish in the area, so you can buy just-caught fish right from the boat! You can also walk around and enjoy the view of the water, which is perfect for whetting your appetite or for walking off a huge meal. In the autumn, the terminal hosts the annual Fishermen's Fall Festival. There's a free private lot out in front for parking, although there is some construction occasionally.

A first timer to this bay. Met up with a friend whose friend had a 15-foot Alaskan Smoker Craft,…read moreso we all decided to meet up at the boat launch at 6:00 AM on Friday morning. The line going into the boat docking area was super packed! Probably had to wait in line for 20+ boaters to get to the boat launch area before it was our turn. I think it took about 30 minutes or so... Once we were able to get the boat into the water and get going, it was a very scenic and peaceful atmosphere. The views were great, temperature was just right and water was pleasant. When we arrived at our preferred fishing spot, we prepared our bait, tossed in our lines and trolled. After a minute, the fishing pole got the first fish on! My friend reeled in a Chinook Jack. Released it. Then after baiting the first fishing pole and casting, not even a minute later, hooked on another fish. This time it was a Coho, but as the line got closer to the boat, the fish came off. Afterwards, we were able to get both fishing poles set up and ready to go. I was next to get a fish on and reeled in a nice Adult Coho for my first catch of the day! Not long after that, I got hooked on another fish and reeled the second Coho. We trolled around the water for a bit before I got another fish, but lost it 10 feet away from the boat as it came off. I believe we were in the water for 5 hours. During that time, I was able to land 5 out of 7 fish. My friend landed one big Coho out of 4 of his bites. Limited out with 6 fish, so we were happy about that. All in all, it was a decent experience as my first time boat fishing. Learned a lot while enjoying the bites in the water. There were a whole lot of boaters on this day.

Most of Boat Street Marina slots are in front of agua verde, near the UW campus. the docks were…read moretotally renovated in about 2007 from funky decrepit and cheap, to super flash, clean, big fat slots, 30 amp power, locked keycode gate, and a lot more expensive, a 32' slot is $320, slightly more expensive than just about anywhere in lake union. No liveaboards, no guest moorage. there is a 24 hour keycode to a simple clean but dark lavatory (that chronically smells of refried beans from the restaurant above) and shower for marina users and no other facilities at the docks, but you are within a mile of a lot of great boat and hardware stores (fisherman's supply, and hardwicks), and a 10 minute walk to a bizillion restaurants on university ave. and, it is a fantastic location if you work at the UW or university hospital. some small boat slots are against the shore, and thus not very secure, but it's a pretty good neighborhood -- somewhat surprisingly, undergrads that maraud nearby neighborhoods do not seem to bother the boats. (maybe some inebriated survival instinct is at play there?) the big drawback on this place is the parking. you can pay an extra $30/month or so for a pass to the adjacent lot, but it is only good for 4 hours, 24 hours a day. on top of the 'highest moorage rate in the city', another $30 starts to get annoying, though not totally out of line. for longer parking, there is paid daily parking about 2 blocks away. they also have a couple funky, no-power, no-gate cheaper slots about a block to the west, but i suspect these are available pretty rarely. maybe i'm just having trouble dealing with change, but it kind of cranks me to have to pay $30 in parking every time i take the boat out for the weekend -- and not even get to park at the dock. at that rate, fishermans terminal, shilshoe, everett and edmonds are all looking better and better, so i think my days at boat street are numbered. if you're looking for mega cheap, check out port of brownsville - under $150 for 32'. but getting there practically requires organizing a safari...it is so inaccessible to the city. keyword: moorage
