Ruby Refuge

We needed a place to stay when were attending an event in Seattle, and decided it would be fun to stay overnight on a tugboat on Lake Union. Big Ruby was quiet, cozy, and stocked with everything we needed or wanted.
The little bedroom nook in the hull felt like a childhood fort, with lots of pillows, but also all grown up, with a foam top and nice bedding. The sound of the rain was soothing on the night we stayed, and with the subtle rocking of the boat – we slept well.
Boat «heads» (bathrooms) are usually pretty tiny and dark and not exactly luxurious, but this one was bright and nice!
The living area/​kitchen had sharp knives, lots of cookware, and copper Moscow Mule mugs! We made some coffee (part of a cute welcome spread we found waiting for us when we checked in) and had a really peaceful morning, just lounging and reading at the kitchen table. We’ll definitely be back in the summer!
