 Nordic Heritage Museum by barney1974
The first floor has a journey from the old country to the challenges and areas that the settlers ended up in. It also has a peek at old Ballard and the various areas that the immigrants would work in the state of Washington.
The second floor has a nominal gift shop, two revolving exhibit rooms, exhibits focusing on logging and fishing, and a heritage room that has various dress and items brought over while immigrating.
The third floor has a room for each country that shows different highlights as well as old pictures of the immigrants. It is supposed to show the commond bonds as well as the differences between the countries.
I would definitely recommend it. We were there for about 2 and a half hours and was entertained the whole time. It is a move at your own pace as there are not many people around to help you.

 Alki Beach by Johnscarroll
Alki Drive and Harbor Drive are lined with expensive condos. At the far west end is a small shopping district. Don't miss fish and chips at Spuds - a Seattle tradition. Also, Salty's Restaurant on Harbor Drive is often rated as having the best view in town. Elliott bay, the downtown skyline, and the ferries are spread before you. Truly spectacular. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the West Seattle bridge and exit at Harbor Drive. Turn right and head north.

Located in West Seattle, about 15 minutes from downtown, Alki beach and drive along the water has few, if any, equals in the city. It features stunning views of the downtown skyline and across Puget Sound. It has a sparkling sand beach that imparts a resort character and prompts an undeniable hunger for fish & chips. The drive also includes the historic spot on Alki Beach where the first white settlers arrived in Seattle and spent the winter of 1851 before retreating to the less blustery site on Elliot Bay that became downtown.
In the summer, Alki Beach is hot spot with joggers, roller bladers, cyclists, volleyball players and sun bathers. Alki Beach is also a home to several restaurants year around ranging from hamburger joints to upscale gourmet with mesmerizing views of downtown Seattle. Whether you want to catch some rays or watch a winter storm roll in, Alki Beach is a great place to view Seattle from a different perspective. Leave a Comment

The best time to visit Alki beach is during summer time. There are so many people that walk around there on the afternoons, play beach volley, biking, rolleyblading, running or just enjoying a cup of coffee or eating a good apetizer on one of the beach fron restaurants. Leave a Comment Directions: Beach front
