Enjoy late summer by renting an electric boat down on Lake Union.
You can drive yourself around and look at the houseboats and the
parks and the dry docks and other people’s boats and the skyline and
the bridges and the beaver dams and the water. There is a big table
onboard, and you can bring snacks and cocktails. The boat holds
10 people and is completely silent, letting you listen to music and
have maritime conversation with your shipmates. (Electric Boat
Company, 2046 Westlake Ave N, www.theelectricboatco.com. 10
am–9 pm, $89/hour.)
