Discovery Park in Seattle, Washington
Take a photographic journey through this stunning 534-acre park in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. With some of the most beautiful scenery the Emerald City has to offer, you'll soon be wanting to discover this picturesque park for yourself.
Alki Beach, West Seattle. Seattle, Washington.
Aerial Footage 4/15/18.
Alki Point /ˈælkaɪ/ is the westernmost point in the West Seattle district of Seattle, Washington; Alki is the peninsular neighborhood surrounding it. Jutting out into Puget Sound, Alki was the original white settlement in what was to become the city of Seattle. Part of the city of West Seattle from 1902 to 1907, Alki was annexed to Seattle along with the rest of West Seattle in 1907.
The Alki neighborhood extends along the shore from the point, both southeast and northeast. To the northeast it continues past Alki Beach roughly to Duwamish Head, the northernmost point of West Seattle.
Alki Point also marks the southern extent of Elliott Bay; a line drawn northwest to West Point marks the division between bay and sound.
The Duwamish called it Prairie Point (Lushootseed: sbaqWábaqs). The name refers to prairies near the point that were maintained through seasonal burning by indigenous cultivators. It was a place of native occupation as well as colonial reconnaissance well before 1851.[1] Other names for the point include Battery Point, Me-Kwah-Mooks Point, and Roberts Point.[2]
The Denny Party landed at Alki Point November 13, 1851, and platted a settlement of six blocks of eight lots. The original name of the settlement was New York Alki, Alki being a word in Chinook Jargon (Wawa) meaning eventually or by and by.[3] The name New York may have been chosen because it was the state of origin of several of the settlers.[4] However, the next April, Arthur A. Denny abandoned the site at Alki for a better-situated site on the east shore of Elliott Bay, just north of the plat of David Swinson Doc Maynard. This site is now known as Pioneer Square.
Charles C. Terry, who owned the land, and some others held on at Alki for a while, but most eventually joined the others in Pioneer Square. Terry gave his claim to Maynard in 1857 in exchange for his Pioneer Square holdings; Maynard farmed the land for 11 years and sold it to Hans Martin Hanson and Knud Olson in 1868, Hanson taking possession of the point itself. The Alki Point Lighthouse dates from 1913, replacing the United States Lighthouse Service's post light from 1887 and Hanson's lantern-on-a-post from the mid-1870s.
Alki Point bathing beach, 1930
From 1925 to 1936, a ferry route across Puget Sound connected Alki Point with Manchester, Washington on the Kitsap Peninsula.[5]
Well into the 20th century, Alki was reachable from most of Seattle only by boat. Alki today is reminiscent of a Pacific Northwest beach town, with a mix of mid-century bungalows, medium-rise waterfront apartment houses, waterfront businesses, a thin beach, and a road with a bike/foot trail running several miles along the water. This section of West Seattle is bounded on the northwest by Elliott Bay; on the southwest by Puget Sound; and on the east by the West Seattle hill. Its main thoroughfares are Alki Avenue S.W. (northeast- and southwest-bound); Beach Drive S.W. (northwest- and southeast-bound); and S.W. Admiral Way (east- and westbound).
There have been summer concerts at Alki Beach since the early 1900s; the original streetcars to West Seattle were established in order to bring people to these events. Today, the beach plays host to the Seattle Music Fest every August, a three-day music festival that plays host to emerging Northwest artists and selected national and international headliners.
Denny Monument is located at Alki Point. It has the names of the first Seattle colony listed on it. The third side of the monument gives the names of the adults composing the first Seattle Colony: Arthur A. Denny and his Wife. John N. Low and Wife. Carson D. Boren and Wife. David D. Denny. Charles C. Terry, and on the base, New York Alki (By and By), the name first given the settlement. The fourth side says Erected by the Washington University State Historical Society, 13 November 1905, and on the base, Presented by Lenora Denny.
Cape Flattery. July, 2016.
A trip to Cape Flattery. July, 2016. A family video.
Путешествие к мысу Flattery - северо-западной точке континентальных США.
We had a wonderful day trip here on Independence Day, 2016.
Four hours of driving time from Seattle, the small town of Neah Bay serves as the welcoming gates to stunning wilderness beach hikes, incredibly history, and one of the best short hikes in the country. The population of Neah Bay, located on the Makah Reservation is just 865, but it has certainly seen its share of visitors from around the world.
We used State Highway 112, one of the nation's National Scenic Byways. It follows the shoreline of a glacial fjord (the Strait of Juan de Fuca) connecting Puget Sound to the Pacific Ocean. This scenic Byway meanders through a landscape formed eons ago beneath the sea, carved by glaciers and carpeted with forests.
Route: SR112
Length: 61miles
Drive Time: 1.5 to 2 hours one way beginning at either end.
How to get there:
Follow Highway 101 either east or west over the Olympic Peninsula.
If you are approaching from Port Angeles and Seattle (east), drive west on Highway 101 approximately 4 miles from Port Angeles to the junction of Highway 101 and SR112. You are now at the eastern entry to the Strait of Juan de Fuca Highway.
The road is steep and windy with may switchbacks, but the scenery is amazing with glimpses of ocean and cliffs through the trees.
Cape Flattery, named on March 22nd, 1778, by Captain James Cook, guards the southern entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and is the northwesternmost point on the mainland of the continental United States: this is a fine point of distinction as Cape Alava to the south is actually the westernmost point. Here, however, the coastline is even more rugged. You'll hike above 40-80 foot sandstone cliffs in a dripping coniferous rain forest to look over sea stacks, surging surf, and deep coves on a narrow peninsula that juts towards Tatoosh island and its lighthouse. The trail is on Makah tribal land and you'll need a recreation permit, obtainable in Neah Bay, to use it. Historically, the Makah hunted seals and sea lions here, and collected sea bird eggs from nesting sites on the cliffs. Now it is a tribal nature reserve: keep your dog on a leash and pack out your garbage.
From the parking area, take the wide trail, a former road bed, into a lush coastal forest of western red-cedar, Sitka spruce, western hemlock, and red alder, a few old growth specimens among them. Descend to a boardwalk that wends its way through a boggy thicket of salmonberry and salad. The boardwalk transitions to a some circular paving stones and then drops on a rooty tread. You'll reach a narrow peninsula and find an observation platform on your left at the Hole-in-the-Wall Viewpoint. The cove here is bordered by vertical cliffs of sandstone and guarded at its mouth by a cluster of sea stacks known as the Kessiso Rocks. Flattery Creek splashes over a waterfall at the east end of the inlet.
Continue on the trail and enjoy two more observation decks that offer views to the cove on the north side of the peninsula. The convoluted coastline of low rocky islands and numerous sea caves is backed by sheer cliffs topped by the lush rain forest. Finally, reach the pentagonal observation platform on the middle claw of a three-clawed peninsula on the Cape Flattery headland. Look north and south at the indented coastline of coves, cliffs, fingers of rock, and stacks. Half a mile out to sea is flat Tatoosh Island, now part of the reservation and named after a revered Makah chieftain. The decommissioned Cape Flattery Lighthouse is visible. On a good day, the outline of Vancouver Island looms to the north. Look for seals and sea lions in the waters below or on Tatoosh Island if you have binoculars. Keep your eyes open for cormorants, murres, guillemots, and puffins in the churning surf or in nesting perches on the cliffs. You may even be lucky enough to spot a sea otter floating in the swells or a whale! The scenery here is just absolutely glorious!
