Ray's Boathouse

Like the red 50-foot "RAY'S" sign near its front door, Ray's Boathouse has become a Seattle icon that has changed the way the Northwest eats seafood. What began as a dockside cafe known for its home-cooked meals has become a must-visit restaurant with a majestic view of Puget Sound and rugged Olympic Mountains with a rare mix of dining elegance and hospitality. Its international reputation for seafood draws raves from publications like the New York Times, Gourmet Magazine, Chicago Tribune and Food & Wine.
