December 5, 2012 - A Room With a (Water) View

 


The cozy living room and dining room of this floating home on the eastern shores of Lake Union has a view of the Seattle skyline and all manner of vessels and wildlife.  In addition to the great view, this one has its very own totem pole and a dragonfly door. 

Living on the shores of Lake Union, Portage Bay or other nearby waterways has been commonplace since before 1900.  However, restrictions to shoreline living has limited the number of floating homes to just under 500.  Floating homes are permanently tied to utilities and have no means of propulsion.  Houseboats are navigable vessels.
