I hate…HATE…parking down around the south Lake Union mess. It really is a mess right now, what with all the construction and whatnot. So I figured I might as well see if it’s possible to get to the “Boats Afloat” portion of the Seattle Boat Show BY BOAT.
Nice day for it, anyway…
You can follow my progress on Twitter as I make my way along the shore, looking for a spot to tie up. Wish me luck!
UPDATE: Well I’m tied up to…um…well, maybe a set of floats they didn’t need for the show? Hard to tell what these floats are doing out here.
Anyway, I figured I would take this opportunity to upload some photos I’ve just taken.
UPDATE: The CORRECT way to attend the Lake Union part of the show and avoid the parking hassle is to park at Qwest Field and take the shuttle, as John Thorburn of the Seattle Boat Show explains in the comments! They’ve even got a tent to keep the rain off while you wait.

Ironically, I still think your problem is going to be, “Where do I park?”

…well, you could always park here (Bainbridge Is) then take the WSF and WALK over to Qwest! (~lol)
“have a nice day!” hee-hee

Buy a ticket to the show on the website and park for free at Qwest Field. Then just hop the free shuttle to Lake Union!
