Happening today: From low tide, to Farmers’ Market wagon ride

Thanks to Gregory Wright for photos from Saturday’s low tide – and this morning, it’ll be even lower (bottoming out at 11:24 am, according to this tide chart) – with volunteer beach naturalists out again at Lincoln Park and south of Alki Point, 10 am-1:30 pm:

Also today: Extra fun at the West Seattle Farmers’ Market (10 am-2 pm in The Junction) – it’s “Live Local Day” with free draft-mule-wagon rides, free sweet-pea flower starts for kids from Langley Fine Gardens, and free cooking demos (barbecue sauces!) – plus, here’s today’s fresh sheet. Last but not least, day 2 of Colman Pool‘s first “pre-season weekend” on the Lincoln Park shoreline, schedule here. More in the West Seattle Weekend Lineup – and if you’re garage-saling, check the listings in the WSB Forums’ Freebies-Deals-Sales section (free to post YOUR future sale!).

    We just experienced low tide on Lowman Beach and it was amazing. There was a sandy area that I have never seen nor knew was there. Best of all my 19-month-old is completely tuckered out!

    Thta wagon ride in the Junction is a joke. Do they need a permit?

    Thanks for the comments on the purple starfish. There are some really cool looking orange ones as well out there. If you look around a bit you will see some purple and orange ones together. Monday will be the lowest tide yet and you are sure to see some great ones. Here are a couple more you might like:
