Discover Seattle's maritime side and hit the water with your mom or family this Sunday, May 10.

Start the day at 10 a.m. witha Future Tides free walking tour, led by Founder and Editor Cara Kuhlman. Tours last about 90-minutes and follow a flat, 1.5 mile route.

Learn all the ways Lake Union is used today, new developments on the waterfront, and how recreational and commercial boats cohabitate on this urban waterway. For this special Mother's Day edition, you'll also hear about women making waves in the Pacific Northwest maritime community.

After the tour wraps up around 11:30 a.m., take your experience from the shore to the water with the Center for Wooden Boat's free Sunday Public Sail. A tradition for over 25 years, volunteer skippers and crew take passengers out on Lake Union for a 1-hour long boat ride.

Registration begins at 1 p.m. but CWB recommends arriving early (perfect, you're already there!) for this popular, first-come, first-served opportunity. Everyone in your party must be present to sign up for a ride.

Boats generally start departing around 1:30 p.m. When you sign up, you'll receive a "call time" to check back in for your boat ride Explore the South Lake Union neighborhood, grab a bite or maybe pack a picnic to enjoy while you wait (that'd impress my mom!).

Future Tides and the Center for Wooden Boats are separate organizations that share a dedication to the region's maritime community and fostering a deeper connection between all communities and the water.
