​More information about Parking:

In 2018, the George Pocock Rowing Foundation formed an LLC, Eastlake Community Service Partners (ECSP), to secure parking for our clients and members. The members of ECSP share these spaces: George Pocock Rowing Foundation, Home Instead, Seattle Spine and Sports Medicine, and Wallace-Solhaug Dentistry. Sushi Kappo Tamura and Eastlake Chiropractic. ECSP also rents parking spaces to other users to help defray the expense of securing and operating the parking lot. 

​The Triangle Parking Lot is leased from WSDOT while their contractors complete the "Rest of the West" SR 520 project.  This is expected to be completed in 2030.

“It is hard to make the boat go as fast as you want to. The enemy, of course, is the resistance of the water, as you have to displace the amount of water equal to the weight of the men and equipment, but that very water is what supports you and that very enemy is your friend. So is life: the very problems you must overcome also support you and make you stronger in overcoming them.”
