Duwamish Head
There are incredible views from this point. A tiny outcropping of a park marks the site of Luna Park, an amusement canter built in 1907. You can see the remnants at very low tide.
Seacrest Marine & Elliot Bay Water Taxi
Nice dock for anglers; be sure you know what’s legal to catch! Teens and adults need fishing licenses; kids don’t. Catch the foot ferry to downtown Seattle’s Pier 54.
Seattle Birthplace Monument
This monument is a tribute to the settlers who landed at Alki in 1851. Nearby there is also a human size model of New York’s famous greeter, the Statue of Liberty.
Weather Watch Park
This tiny (135 ft long) park was completed in 1991, and has artwork that is so fun to look at it competes with the glorious view the spot affords of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.
Emma Schmitz Memorial Overlook
One of Seattle’s stubbing viewpoints, this area was donated by Emma Schmitz in 1945. There is a rocky beach that is accessible during low tide. The tidepools are rich in limpets, lumpsuckers, blennies, chitons, nudibranchs, sea stars, sea slugs, sea cucumbers, and an array of other tidepool dwellers.
Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park was called Fauntleroy Park until 1922 when the city bought it. The popularity of the name Fauntleroy in this area springs from the passions of Lieutenant George Davidson, who was taking sounding off the bluff in 1857.
