Boathouse Happy Hour Stuns in September

September 8, 2025

September Stuns at Ray’s Boathouse!

September is one of the most magical months to visit Ray’s Boathouse in Ballard. The cotton candy sunsets reflecting across Shilshole Bay make this time of year unforgettable, and there’s no better place to soak it all in than at our Seattle restaurant right on the water.

Start your evening with our 1st floor Boathouse Happy Hour, offered nightly from 5–6pm (excluding holidays). Sip a cocktail, local beer, or a glass of wine while enjoying fresh Northwest seafood like local Albacore, mussels, and clams. It’s the perfect way to ease into the evening and celebrate the flavors of the season.

For those looking to fully settle in, our waterfront restaurant dining room is available by reservation every night, offering panoramic views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Prefer something a little more spontaneous? Our Boathouse patio is open for walk-in seating, weather permitting, so you can savor your meal in the open air with the sea breeze at your back.

From happy hour bites to elegant seafood dinners, Ray’s is the ultimate water view restaurant in Seattle to enjoy September’s beauty. Join us soon and raise a glass to sunsets, seafood, and the simple joys of waterfront dining.  Cheers!
