When i bought the boat I was desperate for a slip and there was nothing available anywhere. At one point I thought I might end up in Tacoma which would be an hour just to get there and then ages from Seattle by water.
So I got lucky and at the last minute snagged a slip in freshwater in Ballard. Only issue was the slip wasn’t really in a marina. It was the commercial loading bay next to Nickerson marina. Which meant really easony access. But no marina ambience. No hanging on the dock having a beer and chatting to people.
So the guy who I bought the boat from shot me a text he was on the waiting list for a marina for over a year and they called him for a new slip. Turns out he couldn’t fit in there and I got it.
So happy, it’s on lake union. View of the space needle. Perfect for the fireworks on the 4th. 25 Minutes closer to home. Less than 20 mins from work.
Moved in Saturday. Also close to downtown. So Saturday did result in staying at the boat with a Headache after a late night in town.
