KING TIDES: What you’ll see along West Seattle shores this week

(January 5th photo by @i8ipod – Jack Block Park)

If you’re up early – Wednesday through Friday, the pre-dawn high tides will be the last “king tides” of this winter – 12.8 feet at 6:03 am Wednesday and 6:40 am Thursday, 12.7 feet at 7:15 am Friday. (Here’s the chart.) Too soon to tell if the weather will be stormy enough to push the tides past predicted levels, as happened last Monday.

    Where was that photo taken? I’ve lived here for over 20 years and I’ve never seen this place.

      Oops, sorry, I forgot the photo credit, fixed now. Jack Block Park, last Tuesday. – TR

          I’ve only recently discovered this park myself after regularly riding the Alki trail on my bike. I always saw people going down this road that appeared to go no where and finally checked it out.  Very cool views and only a fraction of the people that gather along Alki.

    I got married on that dock, best view in the city.

    Don’t overlook Tuesday morning’s 12.5 tide at 5:22 am! That tide  will coincide with relatively low atmospheric pressure, and may be this week’s best candidate for impressive splish-splosh. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
