The Shilshole Bay Marina, about 2 miles northwest of the Hiram M Chittenden Locks along Seaview Ave NW, offers pleasant views across Puget Sound framed by multiple masts. As Seattle’s primary sailboat moorage it also has a glittery collection of boats – millions of dollars worth. Inside the marina, you can rent sailboats or take classes at Windworks.
