Along Alki Beach Drive are small cottages tucked in among more modern condominiums and apartment buildings. None are more picturesque than this pair of cottages that appear to be constructed almost completely of flowers and greenery. One of the owners has lived here for nine years. With ownership came an inherited duty to continuing a decades-long tradition of maintaining the volume of colors that their neighbor demands.
The Fourth of July holiday, non-rainy weather and a low tide made for a busy day on Alki Beach.
At a lookout one can take in the view of the Space Needle, the skyline, ferries, sailboats, ships and boats of all kind and even an Osprey catching lunch. Along the Alki trail one can walk, bike, takek photos, skate, or rent a bike thingie that seems to be more efficient at creating more giggles and laughs than actually turning pedal power into forward energy.
