Alki Beach in West Seattle


An interesting part of travelling is the unexpected pleasant (and unpleasant) surprises one encounters. Alki Beach has been an unexpected pleasure for us. Our condo is one block off of this beach. The weather is starting to warm up here and on nice days this beach is crowded with dog walkers, kids and beach volleyball players in bikinis.


There is an assortment of restaurants along the waterfront, some of which we have tried. It is very, very pleasant here and I highly recommend a visit. Also, on the day we go to the Mariners game, we are going to take the water taxi from here over to downtown so we won't take our car.


I find it ironic that we ended up in a beach town so similar to Tybee only on the other coast.





There are 6 reproductions of the Statue of Liberty around the country and one of them is here. This is where the city of Seattle was founded.
