Lotus is on the first dock , east side – along with the Virginia V, Arthur Foss, Duwamish and Swiftsure.

From the Seattle Ferry : Take the first right out of the ferry terminal – go north on Alaska Way until you must turn right on Broad, left onto 5th (just under the monorail), then right onto Mercer, left on to Westlake Ave. You will see the park on your immediate right.

Away from the dock  –

We occasionally go out for a short cruise – usually mid-summer to show Lotus around our lakes or through the locks to another town on Puget Sound. We will be back in a few days at most. Unless we’re having too much fun.
