Our housebarge: the "Pied-a-Mer"
The main entrance
The Pied-a-Mer has two small motors on the back, making it officially a boat
The living room
The kitchen
The dinette can convert to a double bed
The upstairs bedroom
The "sun room"
There's a small bunk room downstairs
The Pied-a-Mer works well for small parties
Our "neighborhood" includes 24 boats, many of them liveaboards
We keep our kayak alongside the Pied-a-Mer, making it easy to paddle on Lake Union
The "Duck Dodge" sailboat race is a weekly summer event
Boats gather on July 4th to watch the fireworks display over Lake Union
A fleet of electric boats is moored right next to our marina -- we can take one out whenever we want
A rare snowfall
Many boats are decorated for the Christmas holidays
