Trek - Alki North / Hamilton Park
https://maps.app.goo.gl/keSAxMhC5rzhx6298
We’ll set out along North Alki — a stretch of Seattle so iconic that visitors often say it feels like stepping into a movie set. Where else can you stand on a beach watching scuba classes gear up on one side of Seacrest Park, see a ferry glide commuters across Elliott Bay, then look up to find the skyline rising before you with Tahoma (Mount Rainier) towering beyond? Add a harbor seal bobbing in the surf, orcas in the distance, and a Hawaiian lunch spot just down the street, and you’ve got a day that could only belong to Seattle.
Our trek begins at Seacrest Park, where the bay hums with activity — ferries, kayakers, divers, and the endless rhythm of water and sky. From here, we’ll climb the long, steep hill up to Hamilton Park, a pocket viewpoint perched high above the bay. This is where movie directors have captured downtown’s dramatic backdrop, and once you stand there, you’ll see why: the city unfolds like a stage set, framed by water, mountains, and sky.
The route then carries us past some of Alki’s finest view homes, each one angled toward that same sweeping panorama. Descending Bonair Drive SW, we’ll ease back down to the water, making our way along the north end of Alki and circling east. Along the way, keep watch not just on the water — where surprises from sea lions to orcas can appear — but also on the uniquely Seattle public art that dots the shoreline. Alki itself means “by and by” or “into the future” in Chinook Jargon, a fitting name for a place that has always been a crossroads of cultures, recreation, and community.
We’ll finish the morning with a well-earned lunch at Marination Ma Kai, a beloved Hawaiian-Korean fusion spot right on the water. Favorites here include the fish tacos and pork katsu sliders — comfort food with a salty breeze at your back. This North Alki trek is Seattle at its best: a blend of everyday life and extraordinary scenery, where city and sound, people and nature, all meet at the edge of the bay.
We'll see you at Seacrest Park at 9:30 am for a great trek.
