Alki Beach — Auburn Scallon Like

Searching for the Perfect Sunset on Alki Beach in West Seattle, WA

Glance to the right and you'll see an iconic city skyline. To your left ferries shuttle commuters to their island homes. Behind you the honking horns of cars cruising the boardwalk mingle with chatter from bustling restaurants and squeals of children with ice cream dripping down their faces. But for a good half an hour on a perfect summer night, the world and your breath can seem to stop as the sky, islands, and mountain ranges that decorate the Puget Sound burn into Crayola-colored layers. You'll understand why early settlers chose this spot as their original Seattle home.
