The Center for Wooden Boats (CWB) is a living museum located on the shores of Seattle's Lake Union.
There is a team of women sailors at CWB who are creating programs and events to get more Women on the Water (WOW). I... Andrea and my friend Cameon were invited to sail with them and had such a great time! Summer 2024 on a day that was the BEST. Blue sky + wind. I am so excited to know them and watch what they do for women in our community.
Bring your family, kids, friends to CWB.
Play, learn, or volunteer.
CWB is dedicated to preserving the history and craftsmanship of traditional wooden boats, CWB offers hands-on experiences that bring maritime heritage to life. Visitors can explore a wide array of classic wooden vessels, participate in boat building and restoration, and take part in sailing, rowing, and kayaking activities.
The Center is also home to youth programs, sailing lessons, and community events that make the water accessible to everyone, regardless of experience level.
A cornerstone of CWB’s mission is fostering community and providing opportunities for people to engage with the water in meaningful ways.
Through their Free Public Sail program, visitors can experience the beauty of Lake Union from the deck of a wooden boat, while their extensive volunteer opportunities allow community members to learn maritime skills and contribute to the preservation of this vital heritage. Whether you're learning to sail, joining a woodworking class, or just enjoying a peaceful boat ride, CWB offers something for everyone who loves the water and the craftsmanship of wooden boats.
