About the Building
Washington Shores is a 32-home Houghton shoreline community on Lake Washington, south of downtown Kirkland. City shoreline documents confirm direct Lake Washington shoreline and an existing shared pier at the community.
This is established low-rise waterfront ownership rather than an amenity-led building. Buyers should evaluate it on shoreline position, community scale and the condition of shared shoreline infrastructure.
Waterfront & Moorage
- City shoreline documents confirm direct Lake Washington shoreline at the community.
- A shared pier exists at the community. Any individual moorage right must be verified in the governing documents.
Shoreline, dock and moorage rights are established by the governing documents and vary by residence. They should be confirmed before purchase.

Important
No Rental Cap ≠ Short-Term Rental
A building can allow an unlimited number of owners to lease their residences while still requiring a 30-day, three-month, six-month, twelve-month, or longer minimum lease. Rental-cap percentage and minimum lease duration are separate rules and should always be reviewed independently.
