Floating homes are one of the truly unique habitats in the Pacific Northwest. Seattle has one of the largest communities of modern floating homes in the world. Floating homes aren’t boats – although they are often affectionately called ‘houseboats’. They are just like any other land built house except that they are floating on the water. Of course there are a few differences, such as sewer, tanks, and electrical capacity differences depending on where the home is moored.
