Nickerson Marina
Nickerson Marina sits in a prime spot between the Ballard Locks and Lake Union, giving you direct access to both fresh and salt water without backtracking. Its location on the Lake Washington Ship Canal means you're right in the heart of Seattle's boating corridor, with the Fremont and Ballard neighborhoods just a short walk away. It's a working marina with a laid-back Seattle vibe, and the constant parade of vessels moving through the locks nearby makes it a surprisingly entertaining place to be tied up.
