Alki Beach-Seattle

We're coming to our last couple of days with Kate.  We have been wanting to take her to Alki Beach.  Alki Beach is West Seattle off Elliott Bay.  It's one of the closest things to a normal pacific coast beach for us with rolling waves, salt water, and real soft sand.  We were a little concerned this morning when the fog rolled, bringing it cold and damp weather.  But fortunately, by 10:30am the warm sunshine burst through!  So we took adventage of it and headed to Alki Beach.  The kids played, got wet, searched for sea glass (mom's favorite), dug holes, got sandy, got more wet, collected more sand... It was a really good day, a much needed incredible day, in fact.



The tide was really low when we first arrived.  But within a couple of hours, the waves rolled in, covering most low beach.  Still left plenty of room to run, splash, and play for the kids.



It wouldn't be a Seattle day without watching the ferries go back and forth.
