WEST SEATTLE SCENE: Low-low tide at Lincoln Park

Thanks for the photos! Lincoln Park is one of the places to which beachgoers flocked during the low-low tide today, second of four days with the tide out to at least -3 eet. The photo above is from Tom Trulin; the photos below are from a texter who was out on a field trip with Gatewood Elementary students. While Seattle Aquarium volunteer beach naturalists were there, the school group encountered someone else:

Our class ran into the WLRD Science team from King County DNRP [Department of Natural Resources and Parks], who showed us lots of the animals they found while doing toxicology monitoring! Great bonus learning for our field trip.

The lowest point of tomorrow’s low-low tide (Friday, June 7) will be at 12:02 pm, -3.3 feet (here’s the tide table).

Sure woulda been nice to see it from Constellation… But I guess that’s only for that “1%” I keep hearing about.

Enjoy the taxpayer funded privacy! Don’t worry – the rest of the 99% of us… Our ship will come in someday.

What in the world are you talking about? Park your car and walk to the park, it’s open to all.1% my eye.

Was at constellation park today with my 2 year old. I really loved to see so many classrooms of students there. I even got to learn about Washington crabbing laws from a particular savvy student. It feels like a failed opportunity to not have some experts there when so many students were there to explore the low tides.

I believe the Seattle Aquarium Beach Naturalists were on duty at Constellation Park today from 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM. Tide was a -3.36 at 11:21 AM. They will also be on duty there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

  Thanks; that link is already in the story, and we have promoted it repeatedly (also a standing list in our calendar) – as is the case every year, they’re at Constellation and Lincoln Parks during daytime low-low tides.

We had 7 Seattle Aquarium Beach Naturalists out there today.

I looked at this picture and thought “is school already out for the Summer” then read the story, yes school is out (side) but having a great day of learning (field trip)! I loved having field trips when I was in school, they were the best!

Sorry, comment time is over.
