Step back in time aboard Lady Washington for a unique experience at Olympia! ⚓

Teresa described her sail as peaceful and relaxing, thanks to a friendly crew and calm seas. She noted it was a rare opportunity to ride aboard an authentic tall ship.

Did you know sailors once placed coins beneath a ship’s mast for luck and protection? ⚓

This “mast stepping” ritual dates to ancient times—and Lady Washington still honors it today with $1.75 in change sealed below deck.

Fun fact: Tacoma’s name comes from "Tahoma" or "Tacobet," the Indigenous Lushootseed name for Mount Rainier, meaning "Mother of Waters" or "Snow-covered Mountain."

A sail to remember from first light in Anacortes to the glowing skyline of Seattle! ⛵

Boarded Lady Washington at 5:30 AM & docked in Seattle at 8 PM, tired but glowing from the journey. Sea lions, eagles, and a humpback whale sightings along the way! 🐋
