Garfield Boathouse
Moored along the banks of the southeastern shore of Lake Union, at the end of East Garfield Street, tucked between NOAA ships to the north and Lake Union Dry-Dock Co. to the south, lives Lake Washington Rowing Club’s original boathouse. With a substantial floating dock that holds several of the club’s single and double wherries, the Garfield boathouse is home to an array of sculling shells: club trainers (Frank, Stan, and Harry); singles (Woody, Le Mieux); doubles (Suiattle, Skookum-chuck); a triple; and a number of privately-owned singles; The boathouse continues to faithfully serve as the launching and landing site for “a thousand ships.”
