Looking for Portage Bay floating homes with sailboat moorage in Seattle? Finding a protected area of Seattle's Lake Union for your sailboat can sometimes be tricky, but there is a cool eastern arm of the lake called Portage Bay and the floating homes there tend to have a larger percentage of great sailboat moorage opportunities.  In addition to the larger marina with rental slips towards the end of Shelby Street, there are Portage Bay floating homes with sailboat moorage on various docks along the south end of Portage Bay on the Capitol Hill side. Seattle floating homes can be found in other parts of Lake Union as well, but Portage Bay tends to be a more gentle water and as a result moorage is more protected. When looking for a Portage Bay floating home with sailboat moorage involved, m...

Portage Bay Including Roanoke Park Historic District Real Estate UpdatePortage Bay is a smaller neighborhood in the Northeast corner of Capitol Hill.  In the center of Portage Bay is the highly acclaimed Roanoke Park Historic District where you will find amazing examples of of Capitol Hill Mansions.
