About Lake Union Crew
Lake Union Crew is a vibrant community of athletes and coaches, located on the west side of Lake Union in the heart of Seattle. LUC was founded in 1998 by Rome Ventura. Since then, under the direction of Mara Barckert, the club has grown into a home for rowers who value fitness, fun, and friendship.
Our Motto: Where Teamwork is Everything
Lake Union Crew was founded upon the guiding principle that teamwork is everything. Above all else, LUC strives to connect athletes of all ages, abilities, and goals to create one team, who support, encourage and challenge each other.

LUC Masters Race Teams
Lake Union Crew is recognized as one of the premier adult rowing clubs in the United States. Racing is an important part of our boathouse and we are dedicated to providing racing opportunities for everyone, from our Sweep and Scull to our Nationally Competitive Program. We compete in local and national regattas along with international events such as the Royal Henley Regatta in England and the World Championships.
Our teams also take part in fundraising events, like the Pink Ribbon Row, because giving back to the community is important to our members and LUC.
