VIDEO, PHOTOS: Here’s what this morning’s ‘king tide’ looked like in West Seattle

This morning’s burst of wind hit right before something that WAS predicted – the “king tide” peaking at ~13 feet just before 8 am. We went to Alki for a look, and have received others’ photos from West Seattle shores (thank you!). Above and below are our photos from the Alki Bathhouse vicinity – sandbags were out around Alki Statue of Liberty Plaza:

Kelsey Carlson sent video of the water lapping toward the plaza:

Next photo is from Sam Uzwack, at the west end of the Alki promenade:

From around the point at Constellation Park, Betsy Ackerley caught the waves and wind from above:

At ground level, video from Greg Jalbert:

From Lincoln Park, Sydney Hammerquist sent this view:

(added Monday evening) And video from Fred Hammerquist:

Tomorrow morning’s high tide at 8:40 am will be just a bit lower – 12.9 feet – and then in January, 13-foot tides return January 23-24-25.

    Thanks to all that shared their photos and videos!  Figured there might be a little water over the walls and then for sure with gusts to 55 mph at SeaTac at the same time.

    Here’s the breeze predictions for Tuesday and Wednesday. Could be pretty sploshy again.

    We should rename it Queens Tide!
