Floating Homes Tour
​
After seven years without a tour, the 2025 Floating Homes Tour made a triumphant return — and what a day it was! Together, we created an event that reminded us why life on the lake is so extraordinary. More than 600 visitors stepped onto our docks and into ten
unique floating homes, each one offering a unique glimpse into the creativity, history, and warmth that define our community. Guests loved learning about our way of life, reminding us how special it feels to live among — and be part of — our floating neighborhoods.
​
The 2025 Tour also received wonderful media coverage and social buzz. Local TV outlets like KOMO News shared stories about the event, and young video bloggers captured their experiences and shared them across social media — giving the Floating Home community thousands of positive impressions and new fans. One of the goals of the FHA is to bring the world of floating homes into the minds of younger generations who can aspire to own and protect these remarkable homes one day.
For those who opened their homes or volunteered, the day was deeply rewarding. It was a chance to share stories, meet new people, and see our homes through the fresh eyes of guests. Pride, laughter, and neighborly goodwill filled every dock and walkway — a spirit that will linger long after the tour. We offer heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this possible — from homeowners and dock organizers to event-day helpers who kept everything running smoothly. You were the heart of the tour A special shout-out goes to Melissa Ahlers, FHA’s Culture & Tour Lead, who coordinated the entire event with dedication and good humor (and to her husband Tim for his
thoughtful behind-the-scenes help). And to our major sponsors: thank you: Sound Community Bank , Melissa Ahlers (Compass), Molly Cartwright (Windermere), Matt Goyer (Urban Living). Other appreciated FHA sponsors include Mioposto, Red Shield, International Marine Floatation (IMF) Systems, Aqua Dive and Boat Insurance Agency. Together, we opened our docks and hearts to the broader Seattle community — creating a day full of stories, laughter, and inspiration. Thank you for helping us celebrate and share the beauty and spirit of floating home living.
