Sailgating UW Husky Stadium in Seattle

Nothing says Seattle Boating like SAILGATING for a Husky Game! Husky Stadium is located right on Lake Washington in Union Bay, making it a perfect location for this unique College Football pastime! Boaters can drop anchor with UW Husky Stadium in view and experience all of the classic fun of college football tailgating - with a Seattle Flair!

There is no better way to extend your Seattle Boating season than to Sailgate for the Husky

ATTENDING THE GAME?

Many people Sailgate and stay on their boats during the game, while others hop the shuttle to catch the game in person. You'll need tickets for the game if you plan to attend. Get tickets here.

MOORAGE AT HUSKY HARBOR

There is moorage at Husky Harbor, but there is a long waitlist to snag one of its 150 slips and is based on "priority points" with the university.

NO MOORAGE? NO PROBLEM -- There's a shuttle!

There is a "complimentary" boat shuttle that will pick you up from your boat and shuttle you to the dock. Shuttles will be available two (2) hours prior to kickoff and run for one (1) hour following the conclusion of the game. To grab a shuttle, wave them down with your hands, life fest, or a boating flag. It's smart to wave them down 1hr prior to kickoff.

The fee for a return trip is $10 per person (under 2 ride free). Credit cards and cash are both accepted. The shuttle is limited in late October and November so be sure to call ahead or email uwharbor@uw.edu to check for shuttle schedule later in the season.

ABOUT UNION BAY

Union Bay is shallow and requires a heavy anchor and chain because the bottom is poor holding. The areas north and west of the green buoy are off limits, so keep an eye for the marker. Anchorage is available elsewhere.
