Alki Point
-
Seattle pioneer Arthur A. Denny (see Denny Party) and his party aboard the ship Exact were the first Europeans to settle the region; they chose the beachhead of West Seattle to come ashore in 1851. Duwamish Tribe Chief Sealth met the group with open arms and began a long friendship with Seattle’s founders. Today, Alki Point boasts row after row of upscale water-front condos for the well-to-do, and a great beach for shell hunting or scuba diving.
