Washington Marina was a great location for us. Close to THREE metro stops...a short walk to SAFEWAY...and just up wind (much better than down wind) from the HUGE open air fish market. Planes, trains, helicopters, cars, trucks, and cruise boats came and went morning, noon and night. Plus the cccccccutest baby ducks you ever saw. First night there we saw a Mother with 11 little ones...though we never saw her again we did see a couple of other families...these I managed to photo...
