Have you considered a float home yet? My Fiancee and I are graduating college this year and are moving to Victoria BC (1h from Seattle) from Toronto. We are in the process of desiging and building a float home. It is being built on a positive flotation foundation, its concrete and foam lasts over 100 years fire and damage proof. I have done a tonne of reaserch on this project, there are marine sanatation systems that are excellent and will allow us to have normal flushes and showers. The home we are building is a 2 story appx 850 sqft with a 250 sqft terrace. Small but for under 90 Grand cad we will be mortgage free and only have a once a year payment of $3700 moorage payment. We are doing this so we can save money for my start up and pay for her to finish off school. floatinghomes.com is a great website to find out about this topic.
Hope this helps, PM me if you have any questions.
PS. Go on a boat before you decide to live on one, boats are too small for us and to "campy" to live on for more than a year or two, we are planning on using ours for 8 years then use it as an investment and collect rent.
