Alki Beach Party in Seattle

It was a beautiful Sunday at Seattle’s Alki Beach. I was enjoying sunshine and a good Stephen King book, when I noticed a woman and her gang of assistants unloading about 25 chairs onto the beach. This was followed by about 5 tables – all at the front of the beach blocking anyone’s view. You can see in this pic they had no trouble setting up right on top of other beach goers.

Now we’re all in favor of fun at the beach and a good party – but where does this cross the line? Basically – this was a full stop catered party – taking up a huge amount of space (and no people for hours – watched by a “sentry”). This was a 25 person party – is a 100 person party ok too? Public beaches are precious – and we’d encourage everyone to be considerate and realistic in what makes sense.

This woman seemed to be going a bit too far. Note the umbrella going up too at one of the many tables. wtF?

Hi, I'm Ashleigh! Welcome to Seattle Travel, my little piece of beautiful PNW. This is home and I'm here to share all my experiences so visitors and locals alike can find the best experiences this part of the country has to offer. I started Seattle Travel in 2012 as a way to journal my experiences and over the years have been encouraged by family and friends to open up my adventures to everyone. I actively seek out the best food, activities, and day trips and give you a local perspective.  The Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful areas in the world and my goal is to let you explore it to the fullest.
