Description

Added by The Outbound Collective

Nestled amidst the modern high-rises of Alki Avenue, Seattle's iconic Flower Houses offer a stunning contrast of nature and urbanity. This enchanting oasis, created by Randie Stone, is a must-see for visitors to the Emerald City. Admire the vibrant explosion of colors as you explore this registered wildlife habitat. While reservations aren't required to simply enjoy the exterior beauty, consider timing your visit for optimal bloom around June.

Parking is available on Alki Avenue, but be prepared for potential crowds, especially during peak tourist season.

Alki Beach

There is parking for about a mile along Alki Ave. SW, however it quickly fills up quickly so get there early.

There are kayak, paddle-board, rollerblade, and bike rentals all along the beach. Six fire-pits are also sporadical...

Camp on Blake Island

There are 2 ways to get to Blake Island: private boat or via the Argosy Cruises tour boat (or if you're ambitious, I guess you can swim there!). If traveling by private boat, there is a marina with limited dock space as well as buoy moorings around the island for a moorage fee. Blake Island is a State Park and has many campsites around the island, but the main camping area is just a few steps...

Kerry Park

Located at the top of Queen Anne Hill, Kerry Park is a favorite destination for photography. On any given day you'll find tourists and locals relaxing in the park and enjoying the beautiful view.
