Over 200 Years of History on a Sunday Afternoon!
Our journey begins in the South Lake Union neighborhood, then navigates bays and canals to discover how the city evolved from a backwater logging town into an international hub of innovation and creativity.

Bring the family to enjoy themselves on this informative 1.5 hr sailing.
