Download Seattle's Floating Homes Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Seattle's floating homes community began as a population of unregulated and inexpensive industrial houses in the late 1800s, yet it has evolved to become some of the most sought-after real estate in Seattle today. Little has been shared about this intimate and unique community that is characterized by eclectic architecture, diverse individuals, and a strong sense of community. It is hard to imagine Seattle without its floating homes, but there was a period of time when the community was considered undesirable and was almost driven from the city shores. This book explores the community history of floating homes in Seattle, tales from life on the dock, and the ongoing challenges of being a fringe neighborhood in the urban context of the city.

Download The Precarious History of Seattle's Houseboats in the Wake of Urban Development, 1953-1993 Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The houseboats along the shores of Lake Union in Seattle, Washington are an iconic emblem of the city's character and popular image. However, tensions between the houseboaters and the City of Seattle, as well as with moorage owners, presented an existential crisis. Pollution, zoning, and monopoly market conditions gravely jeopardized the community. Urban renewal, catalyzed by the 1949 Housing Act, advocated for the destruction of underperforming "blighted" neighborhoods to allow the redevelopment of urban cores throughout the United States. While preservationists defended historic and diverse neighborhoods, urban renewal had long-lasting implications for how Seattle's urbanites envisioned the future. The Equity Ordinance attempted to block arbitrary rent increases for houseboat moorages as restrictions on houseboat space tightened the hold of moorage owners on their tenants. Despite efforts by the Floating Homes Association (FHA) to safeguard the community, the community eventually succumbed to market influences. Cooperative ownership shifted affluent moorage renters into owners, creating an economic threshold at which some houseboaters were displaced. Spanning from 1957 to 1993, this thesis argues that the houseboats of Seattle's Lake Union underwent gentrification due to urban renewal mandates and yielding to market-driven solutions.

Shantyboat is the story of a leisurely journey down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. For most people such a journey is the stuff that dreams are made of, but for Harlan and Anna Hubbard, it became a cherished reality. In their small river craft, the Hubbards became one with the flowing river and its changing weathers. This book mirrors a life that is simple and independent, strenuous at times, but joyous, with leisure for painting and music, for observation and contemplation.

Today Seattle’s floating home community’s hinder public water access, and are regarded as a non-preferred use of shoreline environments. This urban condition has caused decline of the floating community during the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. Although historically representing an inclusive housing, the remaining community it has become a symbol of gentrification in the city of Seattle. This thesis argues that new floating communities could positively contribute to urbanity, but argues that designers need to fully understand the political and environmental issues that have currently discouraged there implementation. It hopes to inform the reader on the potential of floating communities, and the potential impact on water-bodies and landscapes, by encouraging a respectful approach to new floating designs in relationship to Seattle’s urban future.
