Best Things to Do on Lake Washington Before Summer Ends

Published August 26th, 2026 by Washington Jetski & Boat Rentals

Summer on Lake Washington doesn't last forever, so there's still time to get out on the water and make the most of the season. Whether you're looking for an exciting adventure on a jetski, a relaxing day on a boat, or a fun activity with family and friends, Lake Washington has something for everyone.

If you're in Renton, Seattle, Bellevue, Issaquah, or Mercer Island, renting a jetski or boat is one of the best ways to experience the lake.

1. Hit the Water on a Jetski

If you want excitement, a jetski is hard to beat. Feel the breeze, enjoy the scenery and explore Lake Washington from a completely different perspective.

A jetski rental is a great option for couples, friends, visitors to Seattle, or anyone looking for something fun to do before summer comes to an end.

2. Explore Lake Washington by Boat

Not everyone wants to spend the day riding a jetski. A boat rental gives you the opportunity to slow down, relax and enjoy the lake with family or friends.

Pack some snacks, bring your favorite drinks, turn up the music and spend a few hours enjoying the beautiful Pacific Northwest scenery.

3. Enjoy the Seattle Skyline From the Water

One of the best things about being on Lake Washington is seeing the Seattle area from the water.

Instead of experiencing Seattle from the highway or streets, get out on the lake and enjoy the surrounding views from your own boat or jetski.

It's an experience that makes a great summer memory and gives you plenty of opportunities for photos and videos.

4. Make It a Family Adventure

Looking for something different to do with the family? A day on Lake Washington can turn an ordinary weekend into a memorable adventure.

A boat rental allows everyone to spend time together on the water, while jetskis provide an exciting option for those looking for a little more speed and adventure.

Always make safety the priority and follow all Washington boating and personal-watercraft regulations.

5. Plan a Weekend Adventure From Renton

For customers in Renton and the surrounding area, getting out on Lake Washington is convenient and easy.

Washington Jetski and Boat Rentals provides rentals for customers looking to enjoy the lake without having to own and maintain their own watercraft.

Our pickup location at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park in Renton makes it easy to start your Lake Washington adventure.

6. Don't Wait Until Summer Is Over

The Pacific Northwest doesn't give us unlimited warm-weather weekends. If you've been thinking about renting a jetski or boat, late summer is the perfect time to get on the water.

Gather your friends or family, choose a day with good weather and make some memories on Lake Washington.
