Elliott Bay is a busy place on a Saturday morning. Ferries, freighters, kayakers, boats, sailboats, foot ferries, Shell Oil rigs and even a mermaid parade. Above, the M/V Tacoma heads to Bainbridge Island.
Known originally as Seattle Harbor or Duwamish Bay, the US Board on Geographical Names settled on Elliott Bay in 1895. It was named during an expedition in 1841, but with several Elliott surnames on the expedition, it isn't certain for whom it was named.
Protesters of the Shell oil rig, seen in the background, have anchored their "Solar Pioneer"off of Alki.
The British Courage, a 49,000 ton United Kingdom liquid petroleum gas freighter launched in 2006, in the process of setting their anchors.
