About Ray's Boathouse, Cafe & Catering

A Seattle icon since 1973, Ray's Boathouse changed the way the Northwest eats seafood. Ray's helped create a fashionable and distinctive regional cuisine built around sustainable Northwest seafood, local produce, microbrews and wines. Ray's was the first to reintroduce Olympia oysters, the region's only native oyster, and heralded Northwest delicacies such as singing scallops, Loughbrough Inlet spot prawns, Copper River Salmon, Bruce Gore "frozen at sea"​ salmon and the concept of red wine with fish. Ray's was also the first local restaurant to purchase its own wholesale fish buyer's license, allowing it to buy directly from the fishermen, ensuring the freshest catch. Today, Ray’s is a must-visit restaurant with an international reputation for excellent Northwest seafood and a majestic waterfront view of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Ray’s Boathouse is comfortably elegant, serving refined sustainable seafood, local meats and produce, and an extensive wine list nightly. Ray’s Cafe is lively, fun and family-friendly, serving casual fare for lunch and dinner, with seasonal outdoor dining and a popular Happy Hour. Our private waterfront Northwest Room and professional full-service catering are perfect for social and corporate entertaining. Mindful of its impact on the environment, Ray’s is a leader in the Seattle restaurant community for sustainable business practices, recycling and composting. Owners are Russ Wohlers, Earl Lasher, Jack Sikma, Douglas Zellers and Tom Olsson.
