Watch the BBC Storyworks Short Film on CWB!

We were excited to participate in a short film made by BBC Storyworks on our work at the Center and how it is supported by design. The film is part of the online series "In Pursuit of Wellness", presented by the Global Wellness Institute and in collaboration with Olson Kundig.

We are a landmark!

The Center for Wooden Boats is now a Landmark as designated by the City of Seattle. This includes the floating structures of our South Lake Union home (also known as Waterway 4) and The Old Boathouse (also known as the Wagner Floating Home).

We are incredibly grateful to our community for writing to the Board on our behalf, and to those who gave testimony during the hearings. A special thank you to Sarah Martin for her tireless research and expertise. Application was made possible with support from 4Culture.

Learn about the Landmark designation, how it came to be and what it means for us in this short video produced by CWB volunteer Shelley Sabin.

Experience the history that’s written in boats.

The Center for Wooden Boats is a living museum. We encourage our community to experience heritage in a way that you can sail, build, and explore. In thanks to the opening of the Wagner Education Center, The Center for Wooden Boats is now able to put more of our collections on display. From dynamic gallery installations to boat hanging exhibits, CWB is able to offer a peek into the world of maritime heritage like never before.

Admission is free.
