From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Built just before 1912, the Wagner Houseboat (or "The Old Boathouse") is a historic floating home, located at 2770 Westlake Avenue, North, in Seattle, Washington.[2] The Wagner Boathouse was previously called “The Old Boathouse” while it was being used as the epicenter of the Center for Wooden Boats.[3] Today, the community pioneered by the Wagner Boathouse represents the transition of South Lake Union from an urban industrial wasteland to a thriving residential community teaming with Pacific Northwest history. [3] This houseboat is also one of very few lasting relics of the floating resort communities that were once heavily prominent in the waters of Lake Washington.[4]
