West Seattle scenes: Colorful sights revealed at low tide

Thanks to Jim Clark for sharing Thursday low-tide scenes from south of Alki Point. One more low-low tide awaits, today (Friday) at 12:36 pm (-2.6 feet)

Tides won’t be this low again till late October – and then, it’ll be in the post-midnight wee hours, requiring most likely a light and a coat if you insist on exploring!

    Not sure if its related to the low tide, but there are seals or sea lions on a buoy making a lot of noise straight out from salty’s. I wish I had my binoculars!

      They are almost ALWAYS there – and they are awesome. You can go to Seacrest Pier just about any old time and hear them.
