West Seattle Sunday: From the beach to the stage, and beyond…


(Brant, photographed by David Hutchinson, who says, “One of the benefits of being a Seal Sitter is to be out along the shoreline. Lots of wildlife to view, including large groups of Brant along Alki Beach, getting ready for their trip north.”)

    It is a Red Rock Crab. Nearly as tasty as a Dungeness.

      Thank you. I will amend it to just say “crab.”

Sorry, comment time is over.
