The Center for Wooden Boats

The Center for Wooden Boats has been a beloved gathering place on Seattle’s Lake Union since 1976. The maritime non-profit's new building, the stunning Wagner Education Center, raises their visibility and all the great work they do to nurture kids and the local boat-loving community.

When visitors take a closer look at each steel donor panel, they discover the favorite sailing waters of each donor.
