West Seattle scenes: Two Alki views of today’s ‘king tide’

| Seen at sea | West Seattle news

Thanks to David Rosen of SlickPix Photography for these Alki views from early this morning at the peak of the winter’s highest tide, 13.3 feet, which will be replicated tomorrow morning at 7:25 am.

These extra-high tides are known as “king tides,” and as mentioned here the other day, the state is asking photographers to share their pictures, to learn more about the potential effects of coastal flooding.

Concerned about the sand erosion after the log boom and three fire pits were washed out during the last big storm? Here’s something you can do to help. Carol Baker is the regional Parks & Recreational Site Coordinator for the City of Seattle and can be reached at 206.684.7457.

As an Alki-flats resident, well I’m not keen for the Puget Sound to flood our homes during the next big storm. I’m really hoping that a few of you will take the time to call 8^])
