About Alki
Alki is Seattle's beach neighborhood — a 2.5-mile stretch of sandy shoreline facing the downtown skyline and Bainbridge Island, with a paved promenade busy with walkers, cyclists, and beach-goers from spring through fall. The waterfront strip is genuinely walkable, with seasonal restaurants and small condo buildings facing the water.
Housing splits between beachfront and view condos along Alki Avenue and single-family homes climbing the hill behind. Year-round residents value the unusual combination of urban access and beach-town atmosphere, though winter weather can make the exposed waterfront feel quieter than the summer crowds suggest.
