Video: West Seattle’s weekend wildlife – underwater, off Alki

| Seen at sea | West Seattle news | Wildlife

Sure, things can get wild on the beach at Alki. But here’s the true meaning of the word – what you find underwater. Diver/environmental advocate Laura James shares this video, from what she and friends found off 64th/Alki this past weekend. (P.S. Voted for Laura in the Cox Conserves Heroes competition yet? No? Then, go here!)

can the animals hear the musical soundtrack as well, or is it because video of a crab is boring so you need some chick singing a pop song to go along with it?

in the future they would appreciate the sound of the underwater deep. sometimes the sea creatures make noises.

I think I’m going to have some weird dreams tonight! Thank you, Laura, for providing a window into this wonderful underwater world – and for caring about these amazing creatures.

Wonderful as always. Thanks so much for sharing pictures of our underwater world. I find it so peaceful to watch. So beautiful. What is the first fish after what I’m guessing is a sea cucumber? Is it a skulpin?

It is comforting to see that in spite of all the insults to our sound there are still such amazing creatures who make their home there. Thank you for the wonderful video.
