Floating homes are a unique and dynamic way of life in Seattle. ecco was awarded the opportunity to renovate an existing commercial boat sales marina on Lake Union into a new floating home moorage marina for separate floating homes. The project included the removal of a number of large overwater structures, in-water rail systems and a dry boat lift station. We worked closely with all the governing agencies and developed a close monitoring plan of shoreline and lakebed clean-up complete with underwater video analysis of the lakebed before and after clean-up. A large scale shoreline planting plan was developed as part of the process to aid in the restoration of shoreline habitat and migration runs. The development has revitalized an area of the shoreline that had slowly deteriorated due to unmonitored commercial business and a decline in the boat sales industry.
