Alki Point: Tip when I asked a friend...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Tip when I asked a friend what's the best thing to see in Seattle:


    Lincoln Park's beach front at about 8 when it's foggy and the ferries are docking and leaving.

    Lincoln Park is in West Seattle. Take the West Seattle Bridge, follow the signs to the Vashon Ferry, and right before the ferry is Lincoln Park. Great place for a walk and a nice view. Alki Beach is in the same area and it's a great walk with a view over the water back towards downtown Seattle and the Space Needle!

    Alki Point: Go to Alki Point to see the City of Seattle
  • Tip Rating:
  • The City of Seattle can be seen at Alki Point. You just have to drive to Alki Point and you will find out that you can have the best view of the Space Needle, the buildings of Seattle, the neighborhood of Queen Anne and Magnolia, the Seaport of Seattle, etc.

    Walking at the Alki Point is actually refreshing. There is a bike path here so you can also bring your bike. This path is also used for skaters.

    There are many benches to sit down just to view the Puget Sound and the City of Seattle.

    Alki Point: Alki Beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • Although this wonderful area is off the beaten tourist path, don't expect it to be that quiet. Locals know exactly where to go for a long board walk stroll, some tasty seafood, and the most spectacular sunset. Then there is the sight of the Olympic mountains rising up out of the water across Puget Sound. To top it all off, there is the picture perfect view of downtown Seattle.

    If you can arrange the tranportation to get out there, Alki Beach across the bridge in West Seattle is not to be missed!

    Alki Point: Alki Beach, Seattle's west...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Alki Beach, Seattle's west end. Its a great place to relax and unwind in a little known part of town. The area has several good restaurants and bars and a walkway by the ocean. Bonfires on the beach at night are allowed. A must in good weather

    Alki Point: Alki Point Sunset
  • Tip Rating:
  • Sunset over Seattle After having a meal of fish and chips we went out on the pier to watch the sunset. It was an awesome sight watching the sun go down, it's last rays of light hitting the Seattle skyscrapers, while the moon hovered over Seattle amongst the array of colours spread across the evening sky.

    Alki Point beach The beach enjoys minus tides that reveal a wide expanse of sandy beach. Partly protected by a seawall, Alki Beach is a summer park destination. The park begins at Alki Point and extends 2.5 miles to Duwamish Head, the mouth of the Duwamish River. Duwamish comes from a Chinook word duwampsh, meaning "many-colored river," and was one of the first names proposed for the city that is now Seattle.

    Alki Point: Alki Point Sunset

  • Seattle skyline sunset This pic was taken as we walked along the shoreline and the last glimmer of sun had disappeared revealing the full moon in all it's glory shimmering on the calm waters below.

    Swiss Chalet? While walking along the shoreline, we came across this most unusual building, nestled between the hotels. It was fully adorned with flowers and greenery. We couldn't tell if it was a diner or private residence.

  • Walk along the promenade Jutting boldly to the east side of Puget Sound, it forms the south side of Elliott Bay, Seattles broad bustling harbor Its presence close by the comings and goings of generations of marine commerce has made it a long sought-after daymark.
