Boat Rides on Lake Washington

Join us Saturday July 9th, 2011 for boat rides on Lake Washington, sponsored by  Minor & James Medical of Mercer Island.  Rides are about an hour and a half in length. During the ride you will see spectacular views on Lake Washington and learn about the island’s history.  There will be a no-host bar available on the boat. NEW this year, our boat rides are being offered on the historic Virginia V Steamboat.   This 1921 steam-powered passenger vessel hails from Seattle is one of only two operating steam-powered, wooden hull passenger ships surviving in the United States today.
