WEST SEATTLE LOW TIDE: Four sights from the shore

| West Seattle beaches | West Seattle news | Wildlife

Thanks to Rosalie Miller for sharing four wildlife views from today’s low-low tide. Above, a Blood Star. Below, a Graceful Decorator Crab:

Next, a Lined Chiton:

And a Stiff-footed Sea Cucumber:

Rosalie says she saw them all on Alki today. Tomorrow (Thursday) you have one more chance at a low-low tide, out to -3.0 feet at about quarter till 2 pm; Seattle Aquarium volunteer beach naturalists will be out again too.

That stiff-footed sea cucumber is questionable.

Andy, I get it. You are punny! Not only questionable but inquisitive. Such a lovely, curious specimen. Great share! Never seen a blood star before.
