West Seattle weekend scenes: Spring-y Sunday, near-historic high

The National Weather Service says today was the second-warmest January day in Seattle history – high of 63 (warmest on record, 64 on January 20, 1981). If you were anywhere near Alki Beach today, you too might have observed that it looked and felt a lot like spring. Above, JayDee caught the beach scene – including volleyball! Below, a sunset scene from the west-facing shore:

Tomorrow’s forecast suggests a sunny afternoon and high near 60.

    Sage, that looks like a boxer silhouette.

    I don’t know Sage personally so I don’t know! But they tweeted the photo “at” the WSB account (which is how Twitter users call someone’s attention to something) and it was my favorite sunset shot of the night, so I used it here – TR

    Did anyone notice the TRAFFIC at the beach yesterday? Returning home from the dump about 2pm, it took us 25 minutes to travel from the WS bridge to 63rd SW along Alki. We were nearly in shock! It’s January! WS may be becoming too crowded for our tastes. Tough to say after living here sixty years.

    Perfect example showing people not using the “walking lane”.

    I have to agree with too many people living in West Seattle now. Parking has become ridiculous along with the higher crime rate. I was born and raised here, and lived here all my 65 years. Time has come to live a quieter life in the southwest. My poor West Seattle. UGH
