Boating Day on the University of Washington Boating House... a step back in history... the best way to spend a day. The Shellhouse was built by the Navy in 1918 as a seaplane hangar during WWI.
But two years later it was turned over to the UW. It was made most famous by the movie 'The Boys in the Boat' about the 1938 Olympics where the US team defeated the Nazi German team.
Anyhow this building just oozes charisma and history. Plans are underway to repurpose it for events and a makeover - with multimillion dollar grants.
