WEST SEATTLE SCENE: Low-low tide sights

| West Seattle beaches | West Seattle news | Wildlife

Thanks for the photos from this afternoon’s low-low tide! One more low-low tide tomorrow. Above, Bob Burns photographed Luna/Anchor Park, where the tide was out enough to expose the pilings; the next three are from Rainer Klett, first two colorful creatures, a sea pen and jellyfish:

And then a Killdeer among kelp camouflage:

Tomorrow’s lowest tide is out to -3.6 feet at 12:08 pm. It’s the last -3-feet-or-lower tide this summer.

I see the ferries are posting restrictions on larger vehicles or even cancellations on some routes. Years ago I saw a truck high centered at the top of the ramp. While they were able to clear it, it wreaked havoc on an already late schedule.
