West Seattle exploration

After a lazy day of sleeping-in and reading, May and I decided to venture outdoors on this beautiful-sunny-brisk-day. We went over to the Fremont Octoberfest event, but after hunting for parking for 20 minutes we decided to bail after seeing the relatively small turn out and annoyingly high entrance price ($40 for 1 beer drinker and 1 DD).

May hadn't seen West Seattle yet so we decided to take advantage of the weather and head over. Along the coast it reminded us both of Southern California beach towns - flat terrain, limited parking, and tons of people walking along the boardwalk. The Seattle skyline was awesome from Alki beach. We decided to have an appetizer at Salty's restaurant (right on the water). The view was awesome, but the food, music and chilly temperature were all miserable. I'd go back to show out-of-towners the view, but not worth another visit otherwise.

Makes me want a boat on such a nicy lazy day. Commence operation boat planning.

West Seattle was nice! It reminded me a lot of SoCal. We'll have to go back and explore some more. And rent bikes!
