Well worth the drive or Uber across the West Seattle bridge. Alki is where the first white folks landed here in Seattle way back in the day. Now it is host to restaurants, bars and coffee shops of all stripes, and best of all a long, beautiful walk along the water. Enjoy the views to the west of the islands and mountains, the ferries chugging by, and the unique vista of downtown Seattle. Bonus: a great spot for storm watching.

If you're a hiker, you've landed in a fantastic place. There is so much to explore for hikers of all abilities. A terrific resource is the Washington Trails Association website: wta.org. There are a few books in the apartment of hikes and walks around Seattle, and I'm happy to make recommendations too.

Beautiful in all seasons, the Arboretum is a local treasure. Lots of trails through forests and gardens, and a wonderful marsh walk that takes you underneath the freeway and out thru the marshlands of Lake Washington. Want to get even closer to the action on the water? Rent a canoe or kayak from the UW Waterfront Center washington.edu/ima/waterfront/boat-rentals/
