Parks & Nature
For a scenic trip to Alki Beach or Vashon Island, hop on the Water Taxi. The taxi is a pedestrian only boat that ferries people from downtown Seattle to West Seattle or Vashon Island. Connecting to transit from both terminals is quick and convenient. Bus stops on Alaskan Way and First and Second avenues are a short walk from Pier 50, and light rail and regional buses are a 5 minute walk up to Third Avenue. Free bus shuttle service serves Alki and the West Seattle Junction at California and Alaska from Seacrest Dock, and weekday riders can also connect with Metro routes 37 and 53. The Water Taxi’s docks, passenger waiting areas, and vessels are accessible. If you need assistance boarding the vessel, please inform a crew member. The King County Water Taxi operates at least 16 round trips a day between Seacrest Park on Alki and Pier 50 on the waterfront near Coleman Dock. The catamarans can speed up to 150 passengers across Elliott Bay in just 10 minutes. Additional late evening sailings are available on Friday and Saturday nights, and nights when the Mariners play at home. Bicycles are welcome at no additional charge. Please walk your bicycle or scooter between the pier entrance and the vessel. A maximum of 18 bicycles are permitted on board both the Vashon/Downtown Seattle and the West Seattle/Downtown Seattle Water Taxi routes.

Green Lake Park is a Olmsted Brother's park now in a dense urban neighborhood. Given to the City of Seattle in 1905, It's walking/running/bikers/skaters trail is nearly 3 miles long. It is a preserve for hundreds of species and plants as well as birds and waterfowl. Surrounding the lake and the track, there are basketball courts, boat rental facility (paddle boats, row boats kind of thing), tennis court, beach, woods, soccer, baseball and a pitch and putt 9 hole par-3 course. The mist on the lake in the morning is ethereal. I am not sure I would swim in it though they have a guarded beach. Nearby are plenty of restaurants nearby and it is on a major bus line and near the zoo. Good for picnics!
