The summertime tour season at Alki Point Lighthouse (lower left in the photo above) is starting early. Debra Alderman from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary says they had to make sure they’d have enough volunteers for this weekend – they do, and so it’s on:

Thanks to the wonderful WS blog for getting the info on the tours up online so quickly today. We had quite a few West Seattleites come by for a tour. We also had visitors from California, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Illinois, Ohio and even Switzerland! You never know who you’ll meet at the lighthouse. We look forward to seeing more of you this weekend and throughout the summer! And to all the service men and women, we at the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary salute you and thank you for your service on this Memorial Day weekend.
