West Seattle scenes: These photos’ theme is clearly ‘water’

Thanks to the anonymous WSB’er who caught a photo as that boater got assistance from Seattle Police off the 1600 block of Alki SW this afternoon. We don’t know the circumstances, but that did happen to be less than an hour after low tide. That reminded us of photos Jordan shared back on Friday, with what appeared to be more of a high-tide problem by the Harbor West over-the-water complex on Beach Drive:
