Nestled on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle, the Mount Baker Rowing & Sailing Center offers an inspiring escape in one of the Pacific Northwest’s most scenic settings. Rowers and sailors of all levels glide across endless water framed by Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker, developing new skills while discovering challenge, peace, and connection amid the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
