WEST SEATTLE SCENE: Low-low tide at Alki

Thanks to Marc Milrod for the photos from Alki Beach. As we’ve been mentioning in previews, this week’s full moon has brought some of summer’s lowest low tides. Just before 11:30 this morning, it was out to -3.3 feet, and the next three days, the morning low tide will be even lower.

On Thursday and Friday – at 12:11 pm and 12:58 pm – the tide will be out to -3.9 feet, and on Saturday at 1:46 pm, it’ll be out to -3.4 feet.

Tread lightly because sea/shore creatures that aren’t usually exposed might be in your path.

PLEASE remind people, dogs are not allowed on beach 😞

Responsible dog owners do exist May 26, 2021 (5:28 pm)

Please remind people that they should not litter and should pick up trash when they see it. If we are really for a healthy beach and ocean.

People and pets should honestly stay off the shore during these extreme low tides. This is time for many species to eat and take advantage of the rare conditions. Seal pup season has begun as well.We need to allow other species the opportunities to thrive. Also it is illegal for dogs to be in the beach. Period.

Sorry, comment time is over.
