June 11, 2009 The Center for Wooden Boats (CWB) is a small paradise on the shores of Lake Union. This maritime museum, with its impressive fleet of historic boats, is one of my favorite places in Seattle. You can stroll the docks (for free) or rent a row boat for a few hours. If you are feeling more adventurous, sign up for a class. Members receive class discounts and CWB offers activities for all ages including sailing, knot tying, boat building, woodworking, sail making, and even nautical photography. Need a cushion for your vintage motorboat? No problem. There’s a class. Several birthdays ago, I decided to give myself the gift of an 8-week sailing class. The price was reasonable and the instructors knowledgeable. And despite being a land-loving Midwesterner, I even managed to pass the class. Soon after graduation, much to the chagrin of the sailing crowd, I found myself intrigued by the world of historic steamboats and tugboats that also make their home on the shores of Lake Union. Perhaps I’m considered a traitor by the sailing purists, but it just goes to show that there is something for everyone at CWB. Oh yeah - don’t forget to attend The Lake Union Wooden Boat Festival. Held every 4th of July weekend, it’s one of my favorite summertime events.
