Boating Opening Day
Houseboats: Catch the Wave
By Ann Sloper
May 03, 2001 --
Remember when houseboat living was for the young and the restless? Dreaming about a place on the water in Seattle? Imagine hopping off your deck into a kayak and spending a few hours on the water communing with the ducks and the early morning rowers. Sipping coffee while you watch the Lake Union "duck dodge" sailboat races at eye level. Gardening in containers from every level. It's a special ambiance, and these days, an expensive one.
Here are a few statistics on houseboat real estate from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service.
Eleven houseboats available for sale, mostly around Lake Union, mostly on Fairview Ave East:
Price range: $89,000 - $1,200,000
Average market time: 72 days
Median Price: $369,000
Average Price: $447,181
Two houseboats pending.
Prices: $265,000 and $1,100,000
Average market time: 20 days
Ten houseboats sold between May 2000 and April 2001, mostly around Lake Union, mostly on Fairview Ave East:
Price Range: $250,000 - $585,000
Average Market Time: 59 days
Median Price: $375,000
Average List Price: $415,300
Houseboats range from 15 to 100 years old, and from one to three bedrooms. Most have just one bathroom but a few of the more expensive homes have two or three.
Moorage for houseboats can vary. Some docks are coop and some are condominium style, called "own moorage," and others are leased or rent moorage. Leased/rent moorage costs less than owned moorage.
Houseboat living "can't be explained, it can only be experienced," says Rick Miner, a Coldwell Banker Bain agent who lives on one houseboat and has a home office on another. Miner says that only 10 to 12 per year get sold, out of approximately 500 houseboats in Seattle. You can learn more about houseboats at his web site, www.duckin.com.
If you want to take a look at a houseboat neighborhood, take a drive down Fairview Avenue North or kayak around Lake Union, especially the Eastlake area, Fremont and the north end of Westlake Avenue North.
Moorage
So, where can you park your houseboat? Around Lake Union, through the Ship Canal and up to but not including Shilshole Marina, there are about 2,500 slips leasing from $6.85 per foot for an open slip up to $10 for a covered slip. Prices at Elliott Bay Marina near Magnolia range up to $12.01 for pier-end space with metered electricity. (Figures are from the February issue of Northwest Yachting magazine.) Shilshole Marina has 1,500 slips.
A random sampling of Lake Union docks shows most have only one or two slips available as of April 27.
Moorage can be open or covered and available services vary. All marinas built after the early '80s are required to have pump-out available and utilities as well.
Many boat owners find living aboard is a great lifestyle. Currently, the live-aboard issue is popular with the city. A debate is going on questioning whether owners can live aboard their boats or not in the Seattle area.
New marinas are very rare; none have been built on Lake Union in the past ten years.

Your article indicated April as the survey month. That must have been 2002?. I know that Salmon Bay Marina has several covered slips available that range from $10.00/ft to $11.00/ft. They have open slips for less. They also have some liveaboard at $14.00/ft(open moorage) The liveaboard starts at 40'. Salmon Bay Marina is just west of Fishermans's Terminal in Seattle, south side of the Ship Canal. |

This would make one lady and one small dog very happy. I want to move to the Seattle area within the next few months. We would take very good care of your property. |

I'm bored and looking for a project. I started crunching numbers and I am considering buiding a house boat for myself and perhaps do two at once. My preliminary estimates reveal that I can build a very nice houseboat for an interested party for approximately $100,000. here in Port Townsend. This was calculated at 16' wide, 40 long with 3 different levels with about 900 square feet of living space. Phone me at 360 379 5650 if you would like a custom built houseboat built for you. |
