Ballard has the Locks, and now Fremont and Wallingford may get “Northlake Wharf,” a community center proposed by the Center of Wooden Boats.

The facility would be located just west of Gas Works Park. Among the suggestions for the site: a floating farmers market, a water taxi to downtown and boat-in concerts. Fremont Universe attended a brainstorming session for the public over the weekend, and it has a sneak peek of the project here.
