Tourists and out-of-towners need a quickie map overview of Seattle Parks by the water. Here are the approximate locations, by neighborhood, of Myrtle Edwards, Alki Beach, Gas Works Park, Magnuson Park, and Green Lake. Seattle has tons of waterfront parks, but these are easy to find and worth the effort.
Myrtle Edwards Park – Seattle Tourists without a Car
Myrtle Edwards Park is a short walk from the Seattle Center and the Pike Place Market. For downtown tourists, without a car, this is their best bet. Hempfest weekend (much like an Amsterdam coffee shop) will make it a little more Haight-Ashbury, so ask granny if she remembers the 60’s. If she doesn’t, or if she smiles, it’s cool. (Third Weekend – August)
- Downtown / Belltown
- Walk to Downtown Seattle Waterfront and turn right (North)
- Photographers: see views of city and the Olympics (mountains)
- Benches for picnicking
- Near the wacky but cool sculpture park
- Paved trail is good for strolling or jogging
Alki – Best Sandy Beach is in West Seattle
Alki Beach has saltwater and sand but only tourists from the North Pole are crazy enough to go into these frigid waters. Even Alaskans’ legs will go numb before they get waist deep. This place is gorgeous on a sunny day, with zen-like views for photo meditations, ferries and sailboats sweeping Puget Sound, and the Olympics hazy in the distance. Whew. Summer doesn’t get better than this.
