Alki Beach is the best and most beautiful place in Seattle for walking, volley, jogging and all that staff. Alki is a long stripe of beach of about 2.5 miles running from Alki Point to Duwamish Head.

The view is one of the great attractions, it is amazing how you see the city view melting into endless blue ocean. It was never really crowded while I was there so it's also perfect for some time you want to spend lonely.

The beach has fire pits where you can lit a campfire. It also has a clean restroom near Alki Point but there are also tables for picnic and a settlers monument on the place where the first settlers arrived and met Chief Seattle and his people.

It's real nice place in the whole year, but if you go during the summer, you can enjoy the sun and maybe even the water, it's temperature being between 46 and 56 degr. Fahrenheit. Final judgment: it's great!

The early growth of the city came to an abrupt halt in June of 1889.  This was the month of the Great Seattle Fire which burned 29 blocks, including most of the business district, several of the wharves, and the train stations.  Fortunately for the citizens of the town, rebuilding took place fairly quickly and growth started back up, again.  This growth was nothing in comparison to the amount [...]
