View from beginning of Alki Trail

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the start of the Alki Trail sets the tone for the walk ahead—wide-open skies, salty air, and a panoramic sweep of Puget Sound. From here, you can spot ferries gliding across the water, the Olympic Mountains rising in the distance, and maybe even a seal popping up near the shoreline. It’s the kind of view that makes you slow down before you even begin.
