Not a lot of people know about this place on Lake Union, but it's very cool. You can learn all…read moreabout boating and the history of boating in Seattle. You can even take lessons or join one of their sales. The museum is free and it's not huge, but it's really nice. There's a "sister museum " on Camano Island but it's currently closed. I recommend Center For Wooden Boats if you're in the Lake Union area and are looking for a fun way to spend a few hours. The downside to this place is that, despite the parking lot right out front, the parking comes with a fee and the spaces fill up quickly. The streetcar stops right in front, but as a former volunteer it's inconvenient for me due to the time and amount of transfers it takes to get here using public transportation. But it's a fun place so if you don't mind the lack of free (and sometimes even paid parking is non existent) parking, this place is worth a visit

There is no better view of South Lake Union than the CWB piers and it is fun to take the kids for the boats as well as to watch the sea planes from Kingfisher Air take off. Kids LOVE sea planes. The have free weekend sails and the summer festival is a great way to spend a warm sunny day in the city. This is SUCH a gem in the middle of the city. Walking the piers is fantastic, the boats and the boat shop will make you want to pick up a mallet and chisel. The park that sits between the CWB and MoHAI is great in the summer. Parking can be sketchy right in front, but it is serviced by tram.

I took the engine to Performance Marine who conducted a very thorough inspection of the engine and recommended I get a tune-up and service the water pump as well as fixing the tiller cable. I also had one transom bolt that was stripped and they replaced that as well. This engine is a workhorse and I have had it for decades with no issues. It is reassuring to know it has now been professionally inspected and tuned up. I will probably get many more years out of it. Ironically, after I picked up the engine from Performance Marine, it was literally a YEAR before I put her in the water. When I finally did, I was nervous (and a bit embarrassed) that I had never tested it after the repairs. To my delight, she fired up on the second pull! A fine day ensued crabbing and sight-seeing on Dungeness Bay in Sequim.

So if you're willing to brave the elements (as it tends to rain a lot in WA) and walk down to the end of the pier you'll find a little barn over the water with like 4 shops in it. Harbor Gifts is one of them. I was actually surprised the the variety and quantity of gifts and items in the store. There have a lot of native arts and paintings as well as cute trinkets to say you've been there. The store is very clean and smells really good. They had native flute music playing in the background. Very nice ambiance. I also saw that you can rent a kayak but I didn't get a chance to check out the prices. All the kayaks looked to be in good shape and properly stowed in another part of the pier. Check this place out if you're in Coupeville. If you go down the the history museum and turn right onto the pier you'll see what I'm talking about.

The marina is located right by the entrance to the Navy base, so we pass it on our way on/off the base when going to the Navy Exchange or Commissary. If one is able, it is fun to walk the docks to just look at the boats and talk to some boat owners if they are out and about. Also, the bay on which the marina is located has some very cool rocks along the water's edge. Fun to take a small dinghy with outboard motor out on the water to do some geo-exploring around the bay. Not too far a ride away from the marina. All around the marina serves as a nice base for some nautical adventuring.

Their system of organization and scheduling of daily events was impressive. Staff was incredibly gracious, especially while containing a hundred 10 year old boys and girls. Daily routine began with reveille at 0700 hours and ended at 10p with lights out. Survival classes were informative and included sessions like fire building, archery, stream studies, rock climbing, and forestry to name a few. Breakfast, lunch, and dinners were definitely elevated from a 'camp' menu with dishes like pork tenderloin, brisket, hot breakfasts, 24/7 coffee and tea for chaperones, side salads and dessert with every meal. I. Was. Im. PRESSED. They flip schools midweek, so if you're there from Wed-Fri, the previous school will be wrapping up lunch as you arrive and they depart. Schools never crossed paths and the transition was seamless. The cabins were 4 groups of 3 bunks with extra cots if needed. Working heaters and windows on every wall to air out during the day (highly recommended). It def got humid at night in the fall. Bathroom rotations were 10 mins per cabin which sounded like an impossible amount of time but worked out well. There were 11 showers in the main restroom with one being ADA accessible. 3 separate showers in the shared chaperone and employee restroom (which only had one working toilet). I preferred the main restroom but used it after lights out for my showers. No problems running out of stalls or showers. The bunks were rough for chaperone bones... wish I had brought extra padding to ease the sleepless nights after long days of trail walking, back to back events from 7a-9p, and dealing with a ton of 5th graders for 3 days straight! The bottomless coffee and tea helped keep us all upright! Overall, impressive meals, even more impressive staff, and impeccable scheduling!
