Lezlie Jane's "Luna Girls", a sculpture of flame cut slab steel standing over nine feet tall, graces the Alki Trail on the west side of Elliott Bay. The early 20th century inspired beach attire pays homage to the Luna Park recreational park that opened in 1902. The attraction included heated pools, a carousel, a Ferris wheel, a roller coaster and restaurants. Much of the attraction closed by 1913, but the collections of pools, the Natatorium, remained opened until 1931.
The sculpture was originally hoped to be installed at Alki Beach but was installed at this part of Alki in February 2014.
From this part of the West Seattle waterfront you can view the comings and going of ferries, waterfowl and seals.
