Alki Beach. Wow! I've never felt such a cool, hip, family friendly vibe in a neighborhood...its amazing more people don't know about this area! Shauna's place is tucked away near a secluded walking trail and an elementary school on a tiny street. Her 2nd story apartment offers beautiful views of Puget Sound and the beach, which is only two blocks away. And what a beach it is! During our July stay, locals, families, and tourists alike could be found walking, enjoying the summer breeze, and having bonfires on the beach - all on a Thursday evening after work!
Shauna was a very accommodating host who was happy to give suggestions on the local cuisine and transportation options to downtown Seattle. We ended up using Uber or Lyft for most of our stay due to a busy schedule, but a water taxi and local buses are available for travelers with less of a time crunch - both are a short walk or a shuttle away. There are also plentiful dining, takeout, and grocery food options.
Thank you Shauna for an amazing stay!
