I had the pleasure of viewing first hand Seattle's offering of a beach experience at Alki Beach in West Seattle. History says that Alki was the landing point for the first white settlers coming to Seattle. As you drive along the strip, your eyes take in the bicycle riders, in-line skaters, and kids running about. As you look to the right you get a breathtaking view of the Seattle skyline complete with the big cruise ships leaving port on their way to Alaska (someday we hope to be passengers on that boat!) All along the waterfront are high rise condo's that go for over a million dollars and further down cafe's, restaurants, and shops. The smell of the sea is easy to find and if you get close enough to the water, small waves can be seen and heard. It's peaceful and picturesque and a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area.
