Everything about Portage Bay totally explained
Portage Bay is an arm of
Seattle, Washington's
Lake Union and is part of the
Lake Washington Ship Canal. Its western limit can be said to be the Ship Canal Bridge, which carries
Interstate 5 over the water;
North Passage Point Park and
South Passage Point Park sit on opposite shores between the freeway's pillars. Its eastern limit is the entrance to the
Montlake Cut.
Named after the portage that used to be necessary to move
logs from
Union Bay to Lake Union before the construction of the Ship Canal, the bay is home to two
yacht clubs, the
Seattle and the
Queen City, and many
houseboats, as well as the Northwest Fisheries Science Center of the
National Marine Fisheries Service and the
University of Washington's College of
Ocean and
Fishery Science. It is spanned by the
University Bridge, which carries Eastlake Avenue from
Eastlake to the
University District, and by the Portage Bay Viaduct, which carries
State Route 520 from
Montlake to
Capitol Hill.
